Intervention(s)
68 patients will be recruited and randomised into 4 groups. Baseline data on their phosphate knowledge and routine blood chemistry will be obtained. Two groups will attend group education sessions run by the renal dietician and the renal pharmacist. The other two groups will act as controls. At the end of this phase the phosphate questionnaire will be repeated and blood will be taken for analysis. The patients will then complete a 1 month wash-out phase. At the end of this they will repeat the questionnaire and have blood taken. Two groups will attend monthly intensive phosphate clinics for a 4 month period. The other two groups will act as controls. The questionnaire and blood test will be repeated at the end of this phase which is also the end of the study.
Primary Outcome(s)
Group 1 (both interventions): results for phosphate knowledge and serum phosphate control should be the best out of all the groups
Groups 2 + 3 (each had one intervention only, group teaching session and intensive clinic respectively): results for phosphate knowledge and serum phosphate control should improve versus baseline
Group 4 (control): results for phosphate knowledge and serum phosphate control should be similar to baseline
