BC Nephrology Days a Success

Approximately 450 members of the BC renal community, along with renal professionals from elsewhere in Canada and the U.S., converged on the Renaissance Marriott Harbourside Hotel in Vancouver for BC Nephrology Days 2007.

This annual event brings together renal care and other health professionals, including general practitioners, to discuss and debate the latest research, emerging trends, new breakthroughs in clinical treatment and more.

At this year’s event, marking the tenth year of the BCPRA, executive director Dr. Adeera Levin provided a look back on the achievements of the renal network since the agency's formation in 1997. Successes of the renal community during this first decade were also celebrated in a video shown at the event.

This year's event, which drew more than $100,000 in sponsorship and more GPs than in previous years, also featured a greatly expanded program. Feedback on the conference program, which included more content streams and speakers than ever before, was positive.

Planning is already underway for Nephrology Days 2008. Among other things, efforts will be made to attract more GPs to the 2008 event and to increase the number of presentations relevant to their professional interests.
