Interventions

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

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients will be recruited from Barts and The London NHS Trust haemodialysis population. This includes hospital and satellite units. Inclusion criteria: 1. Serum phosphate: >1.7 mmol/l 2. Serum calcium: 2.2 - 2.6 mmol/l 3. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH): 10-50 pmol.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
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	—
