European Nephrology Portal – new online hub launched
ERA-EDTA is expanding its scientific educational services by providing a new online hub to the renal community. Launched at the ERA-EDTA Congress in Vienna, the new European Nephrology Portal or, in short, ENP, will enable nephrologists and other renal healthcare professionals to access scientific content that is available across multiple ERA-EDTA platforms in just one place. Initially, ENP content will feature speaker materials from ERA-EDTA Congresses and key publications from NDT-Educational, ERA-EDTA working groups, CME courses and ERA-EDTA's Young Nephrologists' Platform. As ENP grows, other content sources will be added, such as literature reviews, ERBP guidelines and statements and articles from the CKJ and NDT journals.
