Developing the European core curriculum in renal technology

Abstract:
Working within the multi-professional team, renal technicians play a greater part in the functioning of renal units than in other less technical areas of care. The role of the renal technician has been changing and, is now one that often combines technical, scientific and clinical knowledge in utilizing technology so that the long-term outcomes of the patient are optimised and complications reduced. Therefore a sound knowledge base is vital in ensuring patients' safety. Whilst still centered on the traditional engineering functions such as equipment repair and maintenance, the curriculum is structured to give a broad overview of renal related physiology, chemistry, treatment modalities and technology. The inclusion of these more clinical aspects in the curriculum reflects the change in the technician's role to a more science-based approach.

Glomerulus: Structure and Function
The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous capillaries...
Renal Drug Excretion: Overview
A nephron consists of two primary structures: the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule. The renal corpuscle contains the glomerulus, a network of capillaries where the first step of renal excretion, glomerular filtration, occurs. Blood pressure forces water, ions, and small molecules out...
