Education Sessions for KCC Staff

BCPRA's Kidney Care Committee sponsors monthly education webinars for Kidney Care Clinic staff. Held the last Thursday of every month from 1200 - 1300 hours, the sessions will provide practical information on a range of topics, with the goal of keeping KCC staff up-to-date on new practices in kidney care.

Sessions will be moderated and interactive, with discussion and questions from participants encouraged. Topics will be announced closer to each date.

All staff are welcome. Please talk with your KCC Manager and/or any member of the KCC Committee to get details and/or email Alexis Whatley or call 604-875-7346.
