CaReMe
The Cardio-Renal-Metabolic (CaReMe) partnership (CaReMe UK) is a collaboration between five of the UK’s national professional societies focused on improving management of people with Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolic Disorders. CaReMe UK was established in 2019 and brings together a panel of primary and secondary care experts from the British Cardiovascular Society, the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists, the UK Kidney Association, the Primary Care Cardiovascular Society and the Primary Care Diabetes Society.
Our activities
Education – we are committed to increasing awareness of the common risk factors for cardio-renal-metabolic disease and shared management pathways; we deliver cross-cutting cardio-renal-metabolic education sessions at many of the annual conferences of our constituent societies; we work with relevant professional organisations to encourage inclusion of cardio-renal-metabolic disease in the training of healthcare practitioners.
Clinical Guidelines – we produce concise best-practice guidance to enable joined-up management of people with cardio-renal-metabolic disorders – bringing together recommendations from specialty guidelines; we respond to consultations on guideline updates or guidelines in development and relevant technology appraisals.
Collaboration and networking – we provide a platform to link together people working across the spectrum of cardio-renal-metabolic disease; we plan to host a national CaReMe meeting in 2025
Quality Improvement and Policy transformation – we facilitate sharing of best practice and work closely with NHS leaders; our aim is to help healthcare providers to deliver the best care possible to people with, or at risk of, cardio-renal-metabolic disorders to delay disease progression and prevent the development of complications.
