The Canadian Association of Paediatric Nephrologists feels that advocacy is an important part of the professional responsibility of our members. Over the years, we have linked with several key stakeholder organizations to develop advocacy tool kits and skills to help improve the lives our our patients. Our current initiatives involve medication access and formulary fairness for pediatric nephrology patients. We are aware that other issues that come up that require our voice to be heard. If there are issues from a patient or health care provider perspective, please contact us using the following advocacy request form.
