Are you a dialysis or transplant patient? Or, are you a caregiver/family member of a patient? Have you ever felt like your concerns were not heard, especially when you knew you could do something that would change things for the better? Have you ever had an idea, but felt reserved or unsure about how to share it? Quality Insights Renal Network 4 has an opportunity for you!


We need your expertise to help fulfill different roles:

  • Patient Representative

What do these roles entail?

You have a unique set of skills and understanding of the dialysis experience that no one else can provide. Take time to share your talents and ideas with other patient representatives/mentors/SMEs.
