The Research Board of EDTNA/ERCA: research activities and deliverables.
The Research Board (RB) of EDTNA/ERCA was formed ten years ago to provide opportunities for our members to participate in collaborative research projects at a European level. It provides educational support in research methodology via workshops at conference and in articles published in the Journal. The group has completed a total of seven collaborative research projects in diverse areas of renal care and has recently developed an ambitious new project, the European Practice Database (EPD). The EPD project aims to capture the current practice of renal care professionals in European centres on a three-year repeating cycle. The results of projects are presented at conference and at international scientific meetings by invitation and abstract submission. Recommendations, guidelines or educational material are produced collaboratively with the renal multi-disciplinary community.
