Candidate CV
Candidate vision
1.
Support the ERA mission of promoting kidney health for all, improving kidney care for patients, and strengthening the kidney community according to its vision and values
2.
With a special focus on kidney health for all, continuing to expand the realm of kidney care to the prevention of kidney disease and restoration of kidney health. This requires bringing kidney disease to the forefront of the health debate in Europe and can only be achieved by promoting a culture of constructive cooperation between ERA bodies regarding Renal Science that maximizes the ERA output for members and society, as well as cooperation with National Societies
3.
Promote benchmarking initiatives that illustrate best practice across Europe, decreasing clinical practice variability. In this regard, expand the ERA Registry outreach to
a.
European and Mediterranean countries and regions not yet participating
b.
non-dialysis CKD as this will help benchmarking efforts at identifying bottlenecks that are key to kidney health in individual countries
c.
identification of populations at high risk of CKD to better fulfil the mission of preventing CKD
4.
Promote the societal impact of the ERA Registry by generating European-wide risk maps and infographics that feed SoMe team efforts
5.
Promote the clinical impact of the ERA Registry by promoting changes (e.g., in the presentation of causes of kidney disease or causes of death) that help health authorities to plan care for kidney health and physicians to maintain kidney health
6.
Work in liaison with ERA journal editors, SoMe team, YNP, CME, ERBP and Scientific program Congress Chairs, project
leaders
and working group leaders to identify key developments and topics for the next year to
a.
Increase the quality, visibility and value for CME and Congress or our members
b.
Increase the impact factor of ERA journals through a policy of developing clinical guidance documents (not guidelines) for clinical practice issues not covered by KDIGO guidelines or for which such guidelines have become obsolete because of recent developments, providing an agile tool to transfer such advances to clinical practice, as well as agile commentaries from a European point of view to guidelines by KDIGO or other bodies
c.
Increase the societal impact of ERA
7.
This may be achieved through a once-a-year Parma Renal Science Strategy meeting with team leaders that may help build the topics for the annual Renal Science agenda and feed ideas to the ERA curatorium
