Newsletter ProCKD

The project ProCKD, which was funded by the European Commission from December 2020, draws attention to the socio-economic problems faced by individuals suffering from kidney diseases. The focus of this project include, how kidney patients can continue their jobs after starting dialysis, how to encou-rage them to continue education and training, and how to help unemployed patients find meaningful jobs. This is the first Newsletter of the project, which looks back on the webinar “work is treatment and treatment is work”. This was held online on February 16 with the participation of all partners, organized by Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Pieter Van Schie was the speaker of the webinar and emphasized the current problems related to employment.
