We have recently added a new part to our ongoing DIME-KD study which will explore the impact of the Covid pandemic on lifestyle and access to healthcare of people living with kidney disease. DIME-KD Part CV consists of an online survey for kidney patients, their significant others and the healthcare staff involved in their care. There is also an optional one-to-one telephone interview to explore the issues in more depth. DIME-KD Part CV is recruiting in Leicester and 10 other hospital sites around England and aims to help us understand the healthcare and support needs of a diverse range of people with kidney disease, also taking into account the perspectives of those who are close to them and provide their healthcare. We will use this information to design and deliver innovative approaches to lifestyle and self-management which are tailored to the needs of the users and relevant stakeholders in the post-Covid era.
