The Nursing Times is renowned for its authoritative double-blind peer-reviewed articles. This month, I co-authored a 3,500-word feature about a groundbreaking commissioning project with life-saving potential. The process of researching and writing the article was lengthy and exacting but the final piece does justice to the project’s significance as a pioneering initiative with global implications.

One of the things that makes my job as a writer particularly worthwhile is being able to make a difference through my writing and there can be no greater satisfaction than writing to save lives. Around 100,000 deaths in NHS hospitals annually are linked to Acute Kidney Injury and nearly a third (30%) of these deaths are believed to be preventable. AKI is a global healthcare challenge.
Think Kidneys is a national programme from the UK Renal Registry, set up to raise awareness of the condition and save lives. I was appointed to help capture best practice stories and articles. The Nursing Times article charts the journey of a pilot project in Southern Derbyshire that wanted to create new ways of commissioning services in order to cut the number of cases of preventable AKI. It sets out the context for the project, the improvement journey, the rationale for involving nurses in the project, the challenges and impacts of the work.
