HISTORY
The Renal Nutrition Program was started in 2009 by a dedicated group of experienced renal dietitians in response to a growing demand for specialised professional development in renal nutrition. Initial success led to the program becoming an annual event, with 20-24 dietitians from all around Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia and the Middle East each year completing the program.
