Kidney Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM)<\/h1>\n

The Kidney Patient Reported Experience Measure<\/strong> (PREM<\/strong>) is a national annual survey of kidney patients.<\/p>\n

Background to the Kidney PREM<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Kidney PREM came about through the Transforming Participation in Chronic Kidney Disease Programme,<\/a> and was one of a series of measures developed by the Measurement Work-stream<\/a> with the aim to routinely collect patient reported outcomes and experience measures from people living with chronic kidney disease.<\/p>\n

The TP-CKD Programme was initially working with 10 renal units, however the Kidney PREM became something bigger when the renal unit clinical directors agreed at their annual forum in 2016, that a national PREM survey would be of value, and that many would be keen to participate.<\/p>\n

Of the 52 adult renal units in England, 39 units (75%) took part in the 2016 pilot PREM.  Over 8,000 people responded, completing the survey.  This is a remarkable result for a pilot project of this scale.<\/p>\n

Since the PREM 2016, the survey has gone through a rigorous validation process, in partnership with the University of Hertfordshire and renal units across Wales.<\/p>\n

The PREM survey is managed by the UK Renal Registry in Partnership with Kidney Care UK.<\/a><\/p>\n
