Welcome to us at EDTNA/ERCA in the Netherlands. My name is Sanne Borremans, I am a Nurse Practitioner in the dialysis and nephrology department of a Dutch Hospital. In addition to being a core member of the national Special Interest Group peritoneal dialysis, I am now also proud to be the brand ambassador for the EDTNA in the Netherlands. I want to come up with new ideas to enthuse Dutch healthcare providers to join the EDTNA/ERCA and its conferences.
