Renal Administrative Leaders Network of Ontario (RALNO)

Who we are:

The Renal Administrative Leader’s Network of Ontario (RALNO) is an association dedicated to bringing together renal stakeholders from across the province, creating forums for interaction and exchange of ideas as well as raising awareness of issues which impact nephrology programs across Ontario.

When we meet:

Annually in the fall renal administrators from across Ontario gather for two days at our annual general conference. Unlike other conferences, the two days are filled with networking, open floor discussion and breakout groups. In an each one teach one style of event, attendees learn as much from one another as they do from the selected guest speakers.

How do I attend: 

RALNO is a two day event open to leaders within Ontario nephrology programs. Those in attendance often include renal program directors, technical managers, nurse managers and nurse educators. Generally all dialysis programs in Ontario attend the event. Leaders from outside Ontario are welcome to request attendance to the event by emailing those below.

When and where is the next event: 

The next RALNO event will be held September 25 and 26th 2024 at the Hilton Toronto Markham Suites Conference Centre and Spa, 8500 Warden Avenue. Our theme will be “A Five Year Vision: Ontario’s New Strategy for Kidney Care.” Booking at the hotel can occur here. Bookings must occur by August 26th 2024.
