Summary
Brief summary
For many patients peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the preferred form of dialysis to treat kidney
disease as it provides greater flexibility and the ability to dialyse at home. However, PD
use in Australia has been decreasing over the last 10 years. A big reason for this drop is
the risk of infection. The best way to prevent PD related infections is to make sure that
patients have good training in PD techniques. The researchers of this study have developed
TEACH-PD, a new education package for training both PD nurses and PD patients.

The aim of this study is to find out whether TEACH-PD training reduces the number of PD
related infections.
