Live Webinar: Improving Engagement Outcomes & Retention in People Living with Kidney Disease
Wednesday April 1st at 3:00pm Central Time
This webinar explores the essential behaviour change elements required to support sustainable dietary change in people with chronic kidney disease. We will examine why patients often struggle to implement nutrition recommendations, even when they understand them, and how the counselling approach influences adherence and outcomes. Renal dietitians will learn practical, evidence-informed counselling strategies to improve patient engagement, strengthen motivation, and guide more effective nutrition conversations. The session will also cover structured counselling techniques to support client sessions, retention, and long-term behaviour change in CKD populations, helping dietitians deliver more targeted, patient-centered care in everyday practice.
