48th Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society of Nephrology (SGN-SSN)
Invitation 2016
Dear colleagues,
With great pleasure we invite you to the 48th annual meeting of the Swiss Society of Nephrology in Interlaken.
The innovation of the 2016 meeting will be a more complete and effective integration of nephrology nurses into the congress. Strengthening the links between nephrologists and nurses, with the aim of acquiring a common knowledge and of developing a combined approach to many shared issues, is becoming increasingly important and critical.
After a successful revival last year, the poster walk will be taken one step further and the question time will be increased in each of the "big four" in nephrology: basic science, clinical nephrology, dialysis and transplantation.
The CME will be focused on clinical nephrology and dialysis with lectures centered on three critical issues: nephrolithiasis, hypertension, and hyperkalemia, hypotension and disequilibrium in hemodialysis.
The state of the art lectures will be dedicated to four topics of current interest for our community; acute kidney injury, cardiorenal syndrome, anticoagulation on dialysis and bioengineering in nephrology.
Our industry partners have taken great care to support the society meeting and sponsor symposia with scientific value which we encourage you to view as a full part of the scientific program.
Last but not least, on Friday afternoon, the farewell words of the president of the society will be preceded by a session shared with the nurses and dedicated to three hot topics: dialysis withdrawal, medication adherence and potential toxicity of herbal remedies.
So let's meet again in Interlaken, share the amazing research, knowledge and projects which come from our very active nephrology community; let's also meet each other again and enjoy a familial place.
