Patient Education Webinars

BC Renal is pleased to host a series of patient education webinars.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 
  • Sessions are primarily intended for patients with kidney disease not on dialysis. Depending on the topic, patients on dialysis may find the session helpful and are welcome to attend.
  • Family and friends of patients with kidney disease are encouraged to attend.
 

 
  • Sessions are facilitated by Dr. Mike Bevilacqua, Chair of the BC Kidney Care Committee and a nephrologist in Fraser Health.
  • Presenters are kidney care providers working in BC's kidney programs and patients with lived experience. 
 

 

We welcome questions from participants during each session!
