Having worked in the field of Nephrology and both client and staff education for an extensive period of time, the author of the material offered on this website has been able to identify barriers in the field of Nephrology client education. One of the largest deterrents to client education has been the lack of usable client education materials.


Stemming from this problem, the author has taken the opportunity to create and manufacture professional client education material and hence Healthteaching.com was started in Nov. 2000.   Extensive nephrology nursing experience, staff and client education, academic teaching, and writing experience Ms Campbell is well prepared to develop evidence based client educational material.
