Renal Nurse Clinician
The disease management programme for renal patients in Singapore General Hospital aims to detect renal disease early and to retard acceleration from chronic renal failure to end-stage renal failure.
The Renal Nurse Clinician supports the Renal Medical Team. The Nurse Clinician coordinates and collaborates with other disciplines to manage patients with multiple medical problems efficiently and effectively, to achieve quality of life for the patient.
The Renal Nurse Clinician trains nurses on pre- and post-management of renal patients on short and long term dialysis therapy. She is also a patient educator who develops home care guides to assist the patient and their caregivers to cope with the advance modalities of home dialysis.
