Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Jeanette Finderup. Through her keynote presentation, discussions with patient partners, Journal Club, Renal Rounds, and meetings with our team, she inspired meaningful conversations about person-centred care and shared decision-making
What an incredible day at the Alberta Innovative Trials & Health Research Methods Symposium. We explored how shared decision-making, patient preferences, Indigenous data governance, and AI-enabled tools can support more person-centred care.
Thank you to all for an inspiring day

New research highlights a gap in CKD care: while sexual health is a priority for patients, Canadian providers say it’s rarely addressed in practice. Bridging this gap could improve quality of life and patient-centred care.
