In order to maintain the standard and quality of dialysis care, NKF set up its Training Unit in August 2003 to provide training to existing dialysis assistants, nurses and medical assistants working not only in NKF but at dialysis centres throughout the country.(currently 465, comprised of NGOs, government run and private centres).
However, to meet the future needs of training, the NKF Training Centre was set up in 2009 and is located at C-23-03, Block C, 3 Two Square, Jalan 19/1, 46300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
With the number of patients on dialysis increasing rapidly, the main aim of the NKF Training Centre is to continually enhance the professionalism of dialysis centre staff in serving its patients.
The Training Centre comprised of 2 nurse tutors and 1 clicnical specialist conducting 2 programs annually, the Dialysis Assistant Course and the Post Basic Haemodialysis Nursing Course.
While the Dialysis Assistant Course is conducted annually, the Post Basic Course for paramedics runs for four months twice a year and thus far the courses have had full enrollment.
