📝 Renal Nutrition Conference 2026
📅 10 – 11 October 2026
📍 Grand Dorsett Subang, Subang Jaya, Selangor

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The theme for this one and a half-day conference is Translating Nutrition Evidence into Kidney Patient Care. Nutrition plays a critical role in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet translating nutritional guidelines into everyday clinical practice remains challenging. Nurses, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals are often at the frontline of patient education and dietary management.

The Renal Nutrition Conference (RNC) 2026 aims to bridge the gap between evidence-based renal nutrition and real-world patient care. This conference will provide practical insights, case-based discussions, and hands-on workshops designed to support healthcare practitioners involved in the management of CKD and dialysis patients.

Participants will gain updated knowledge on current guidelines and practical strategies to improve nutritional care, patient counselling, and multidisciplinary collaboration in renal care settings.
