Adolescents and Young Adults Transition
Open to view video.
Open to view video. The transition of care for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) with kidney disorders from pediatric to adult providers is best seen as a process that evolves over the years and involves developing self-management skills related to kidney care in AYA. This presentation will provide a primer for key concepts involved in successful transition processes and include a useful glossary for those involved in the care of AYA with kidney disorders. Useful outcomes for a successful transition for these AYA and for formal transition programs for these AYA will also be outlined.

Ethics in Pediatric Nephrology: a global perspective
Open to view video.
Open to view video. There are many ethical issues that arise in the care of people with kidney disease, including access to renal replacement therapies, benefits and burdens of chronic care and resource allocation. In pediatric nephrology the ethics become even more complicated, since parents and other caregivers are often tasked with making difficult and life altering decisions for their children and families, with less evidence and less certain prognoses than we have for adults. There are huge disparities globally in the type and amount of resources available to these children and families, with much of the world having little to no access to the tools that are common in high income countries. This webinar will introduce participants to many of the ethical issues in modern pediatric nephrology through discussion with a global group of pediatric nephrologists with expertise in ethics and resource allocation. We will also introduce a compendium of video resources available to those wanting to learn and explore more.

ISN-IPNA Webinar: Challenging communication in pediatric nephrology
Open to view video.  |   Closed captions available
Open to view video.  |   Closed captions available Challenging communication is an integral part of caring for children with kidney disease, regardless of practice setting. While cultural, systemic, and resource contexts vary, pediatric nephrologists around the world encounter similar ethical tensions in conversations with patients and families. In this webinar, an international panel of pediatric nephrologists will share their experiences navigating difficult discussions, reflect on communication as a clinical skill and ethical act, and explore how local contexts shape global challenges. Participants will gain insight into diverse approaches to communication and ethical decision-making in pediatric nephrology. Learning objectives: Describe communication as a clinical skill and procedural act, particularly in the context of delivering serious news or discussing complex care decisions. Compare and contrast communication strategies used by pediatric nephrologists in different healthcare systems and cultural settings. Reflect on the impact of local context (e.g., cultural norms, resource availability, legal frameworks) on ethical communication with patients and families. Apply insights from global colleagues to enhance their own approach to ethically challenging conversations in clinical practice. Further reading: Pais P, Wightman A, Warady BA.
