It's different this year –

Shifting the focus (for one year only!) to peer connection and collaboration.

As with everything else in our lives, COVID-19 has caused us to rethink BC Kidney Days. In 2021, we are shifting gears from a two-day conference to a series of discipline-specific virtual sessions.

Held over five days from November 22-26, BC Kidney Week will enable peers and patient partners from across the province to connect, share and learn. There will not be a full scientific program.

Program

Each professional group, as well as our patient partners, will have one session during the week, with a focus on diverse and robust content, including:

A guest speaker from their discipline or field
Virtual round table discussions on changes to practice and other professional topics
Business meetings where applicable to facilitate decision making
Opportunities for small breakouts to connect, reflect and look ahead!
