Access Resources for Kidney Patients!

AAKP proudly recognizes October 19–25 as National Infection Prevention Week, reaffirming our commitment to protecting kidney patients, caregivers, and the professionals who serve them. Infections remain a leading cause of hospitalization and complications for people living with kidney disease, but simple actions—consistent hand hygiene, staying current on recommended vaccinations, safe catheter and access care, proper environmental cleaning, and staying home when ill—saves lives. All week, AAKP will share educational resources, patient voices, and practical tips.

Pocket Guide to Managing Infection Risks for Dialysis Patients with Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Access - If you are on dialysis, particularly hemodialysis, there is an increased risk of infections at the site where the dialysis access is placed. Individuals on long-term dialysis, who have a central venous catheter (CVC) as their form of vascular access are at an increased risk of exposure to Cather-Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSIs). The Pocket Guide is a tool to help patients and caregivers have more effective dialogue with their healthcare teams.

Magyarországról 2 rezidens részvételét támogatják. Felhívjuk figyelmüket, hogy a rezidenseknek az utazási költséget továbbra is maguknak kell fedezni.

This year we conduct the 18th edition of the Euroderm Excellence Training Program: a unique course offered to the best and brightest Residents in Dermato-Venereology throughout Europe. Since 2004, meetings have been held in Italy, from 2014 to 2018 we switched to Nice, in the South of France, and in 2019 we returned back to Rome. The theme of the Euroderm Excellence 2021, which will be held in Rome, is “From knowledge to paradigms in Dermatology”.

This course is organized by the European Dermatology Forum, a non-profit professional organization dedicated to improving the healthcare needs of Dermatology patients in Europe.

Participating in Euroderm Excellence is a privilege. We aim to provide you with an outstanding teaching program covering up to date and practical knowledge in the different fields of Dermato-Venereology.  Moreover, we want to offer the selected Residents an opportunity to share time and experience with their peers from all over Europe, and to have a chance to interact with a panel of the leading experts in Dermatology and Venereology.

Dermatologists from all over Europe will be attending the virtual course to deliver during 3 days the best of their knowledge to provide the attendees with the highest standard of European education on dermatological science. The task of this experienced international Faculty will be to provide an "in-depth" and "hands-on" course covering the most important aspects of dermatological practice. The ultimate objective is to stimulate your mind and help foster your goal of becoming a vital part in shaping the future of our discipline.
