A continuing education (CE) article addressing a specific aspect of nephrology care is published in each edition of the Journal of Renal Care (JRC). Each CE article includes various learning activities aimed at developing the reader’s knowledge and understanding of the topic addressed in the article. After reading the CE article, and on completion of the learning activities, the reader will have achieved three hours of learning in accordance with the EDTNA/ERCA criteria for continuing professional development.

Future development, with regards to CE articles, will be the inclusion of knowledge assessment tools and the provision of certificates for learning hours. We are aiming to have these developed and included in CE articles published during 2009.

Forthcoming CE articles include the management of comorbidity in patients with renal disease, and renal anaemia management.
