At present, only a handful of renal centres have more than 30% of patients dialysing at home. In 2017, the UK Renal Registry reported that 4.5% of dialysis patients undertook home haemodialysis and 12.5% peritoneal dialysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite national professional guidance and patient groups stating more people wished to dialyse at home there has been little consistent progress in the last 10 years. For example, evidence shows that home dialysis can lead to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Significantly improved quality of life for the patient \u2013 less\ntime and resources spent in or travelling to and from hospital, and fewer lost\nworking days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved medical outcomes, for example reduced hospitalisation\nrates, improved recovery times, improved overall survival rates and reduced\nincidence of depression<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved knowledge, skills and confidence for the person living\nwith and managing their long term condition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These\nbenefits are endorsed by NICE, and supported through the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidney.org.uk\/Handlers\/Download.ashx?IDMF=ffca233b-27c8-4bbd-ae3d-1d3cad97cd6c\">Home\nDialysis Manifesto&nbsp;<\/a>and the&nbsp;<a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\\Users\\nbm0503\\Downloads\\Kidney_Health_progress_report_2017%20(12).pdf\">Kidney\nHealth: Delivering Excellence report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We want to develop leadership and a culture in renal units which makes home dialysis the first option considered for dialysis.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does the project work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkkidneys.nhs.uk\/kquip\/the-kquip-regional-project-pathway-and-events\/\">using the KQuIP framework<\/a>, incorporating quality\nimprovement and leadership training alongside regional collaboration and project\nimplementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DAYlife project is implemented using a three-step approach<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Step 1: Research and discovery <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exploring what is working well on home therapy (HT) usage by centre and by region and why <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Analysing whether the same solutions can be applicable to other centres or regions <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comparing contexts and looking at what process and outcome measurements can be used to monitor whether changes are resulting in the desired improvement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Ideas <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creating a list of possible solutions and their predicted outcomes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presenting and addressing these at a regional event<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compiling a short-list of interventions\/solutions\/ideas that will be tested in the centres or regions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Step 3: Testing  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Step 2 should have created a menu of ideas for centres to agree to take away and try<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The project group will then plan the testing of these solutions\/ ideas monitoring their success using agreed metrics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do we measure improvement?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinical colleagues are often more familiar with measurement\nfor <strong><em>research<\/em><\/strong>\non a large scale with a fixed hypothesis.
