Evaluating a process of academic detailing in primary care: an educational programme for acute kidney injury.

Background: Primary care has a significant role in AKI management: two-thirds of AKI originates in the community. Through academic detailing (an evidence-based educational approach) we aimed to implement and measure the effect of a primary care-based education programme based around academic detailing and peer-reviewed audit.

Methods: The education programme took place across a large clinical commissioning group (CCG) consisting of 55 primary care practices.
