Stay tuned!

In the morning plenary, Prof Simon Davies presented the #ISPD26 Krediet Lecture on "What will PD look like in 2036?". A very insightful talk with lots of food for thoughts, hope for the future but also challenges to face together as ISPD members and within the IHDC.

There are plenty of interesting posters at #ISPD26!

In between... Look who I ran into at #ISPD26.

Groundbreaking Work by Dr Ashani Lecamwasam and Dr Henry Tran as well as the rest of the team 🙏🔥🙌✨ @nihalbashir.bsky.social @pdi-journal.bsky.social @ispd.org

You can hear all about his research on "Strengthening the PD-First Policy through continuous quality improvement: Lessons from the Thai Renal Quality Program" on Friday, Oct 2nd at the 9am session in Auditorium 1. #ISPD26

The first plenary of today started with the presentation of the Jonas Bergström Award for the best abstract submitted to #ISPD26 for Dr Kamol Khositrangsikun, Thailand.

First #ISPD26 full day started at 7am with an early meeting with some fresh members of the ISPD Africa Chapter, where we discussed how they can get more involved and how ISPD can help them grow #PeritonealDialysis in their countries.

At 7am this morning we are kicking off this day with a breakfast seminar by phenomenal specialists in the field such as Prof Yeongjee Cho, Prof Nichola Wearne and Dr Clemenche Bechade speaking about Incremental PD.

This topic remains fairly new and a topic worth engaging! @ispd.org #ISPD26

Thank you, Jeff. As PDI's fourth Editor-in-Chief, he led the journal through a period of real growth: strong science, ISPD guidelines and position statements, and PDI's highest-ever Impact Factor in 2024.
