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.

Opportunities for small breakouts to connect, reflect and look ahead!
