Clinical Information Group

What is the purpose of this group?

The Clinical Information Group (CIG) helps deliver the stated aims of the Network by supporting projects to improve patient outcomes, experience and equity of service through robust data pathways and measurement tools.

The CIG works as an expert voice to ensure that the LKN is collating, analysing and reporting the most relevant data while also serving to steer the broader data strategy focus at a London and national level.

“The LKN is bringing together London renal units and aiming to improve care for kidney patients across the capital. The Clinical Information group is playing an important role in providing critical data to support the workstreams and allow future planning and I am excited to be playing a part.”
