Background:
Even though there has been high quality nursing research related to dialysis care, there are still many areas where clinicians request more information.

Methods:
A web-based survey was emailed to dialysis managers in Australia and New Zealand covering 265 dialysis units. This survey requested participants to nominate areas related to dialysis where they would like to see more research being undertaken. Ethics for this study was approved through the source academic institution using the National Ethics Approval Form (NEAF).

Results:
Response Rate = 100%. Areas where dialysis managers saw the need for further research varied greatly. Research areas in order of frequency were: Workforce issues, nurse education, patient quality of life, end of life care, ethical issues, modality choice, medication management and technology.

Conclusion/Nursing Implications:
Dialysis managers identified many areas for future research ranging from workforce, education, ethical and clinical issues. Research previously completed in these areas may not be accessible to clinicians at the coalface. Education and technological strategies achieving better dissemination of research may be required to transition research into practice in the Australian and New Zealand context. There are many areas for future research related to nursing, dialysis and patient care.
