Patient Advocates – Industry Roundtable
Created in 2021, the ISN Patient Liaison Advisory Group represents the inter-continental diversity of kidney patients with one representative from each of the society’s 10 regions. Its mission is to advise and guide the ISN so that the patient perspective becomes embedded within our work shaping health initiatives and research programmes so that they tackle the global burden of kidney disease.
The ISN firmly supports WHO’s 1978 Alma Ata Declaration that “people have the right and duty to participate individually and collectively in the planning and implementation of their health care.”
Health services need to be inclusive, established by and for the communities they serve. With over 850 million people living with kidney diseases and a disproportionate impact from the pandemic and the climate change on this group, kidney patients’ voices must be audible and active in designing and implementing the policies that directly affect their lives.
The Patient-Industry Roundtable is the perfect opportunity to advance the dialogue between the Parties.
Support this initiative and take part toward helping to structure the relationship between patient advocates, patients and Industry: contact Rik Bollaert (rbollaert@Theisn.org) to discuss the modalities.

Between WCN Organizers and Commercial and Non-Commercial Exhibitors, Industry Symposia, Organizers, and General Sponsors and Advertisement Sponsors. The World Congress of Nephrology (WCN) is the annual congress of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN). WCN 2027 (WCN’27) is organized by the ISN and hosted by the Malaysian Society of Nephrology (MSN). WCN is an opportunity for commercial companies involved in healthcare to connect with practitioners and specialists in the field. The contribution from companies is, therefore, welcomed by the ISN. The relationship between science and commerce at medical scientific meetings must be balanced and professionally managed. This responsibility lies equally with individual delegates, WCN as organizer, and the participating commercial and non-commercial organizations. WCN has adopted a “Code of Practice” for the commercial and non-commercial organizations participating in the congress. The commercial a nd non-commercial organizations who take part in meetings under the jurisdiction of ISN should plan and conduct activities that will enhance the scientific objectives of the meeting. Commercial activities should not exceed what is deemed acceptable. The following guidelines represent the code of practice adopted by WCN organizers and are applicable to all commercial and non-commercial organizations participating in WCN.
Codes: ISN supports the following pharmaceutical industry codes: the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals, the The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA) and MedTech Europe.
Procedure: The following procedures apply to all bookable items included in this prospectus. Bookings are made by filling in and submitting the relevant booking form to the organizer. By submitting the form, the participant accepts the code of practice and all terms and conditions laid out in the document. All signed booking forms are irrevocable. Applications will be dealt on a first-come, first-served basis.
Premium supporters: Participant may agree to a certain level of support, as laid out in this document, which they can allocate towards their choice of exhibition, sponsorship, advertising or industry session opportunities. The participant will be invoiced for the full amount according to the level of support. The participant will need to submit a booking form to confirm agreement with the terms and conditions, for all items selected. If items are selected over time, booking forms will need to be submitted for each choice. The organizer will not refund amounts if the participant does not meet the invoiced level of support with various items.
Industry symposium: All corresponding benefits are only confirmed upon receiving a booking form, full payment and approved program, and providing the client has met all the deadlines which will be communicated in the manuals. All industry symposia programs need to be submitted for review and approval by the congress Scientific Program Working Group chair(s) and the Local Organizing Working Group chair(s). This is to avoid overlap with the official WCN’27 scientific program and to ensure the scientific quality and scope. Once programs are approved, changes must not be made without the specific approval of the above-mentioned chairs. ISN guarantees that all information contained in the program drafts will be handled with strict confidentiality. Program proposals must be submitted by the deadline and must include the symposium title and the full name, title, country, institution, subject, speech time start and end for all chair(s)/ speaker(s).
Industry symposia may not include lectures scheduled for the official WCN’27 scientific program. The ISN does not cover any costs for symposium speakers such as congress registration, participation fee, and faculty speaking in both industry symposia and scientific program are not eligible for the ISN travel policy. ISN and WCN working group members may only speak at a maximum of two (2) industry symposia. The organizer will inform all parties in case of overlap. Conflict must be resolved by concerned parties. The symposium organizer needs to ensure that all publications referring to their symposium mention: “Official WCN’27 industry session” to avoid any confusion with the official WCN’27 scientific program. The ISN and co-host logos alone are used only in official congress publications, at events, or in publications officially organized, or approved, by the organizer. The WCN’27 logo may, however, be used on invitations for official industry symposia. Other use of the ISN, co-host, and WCN names and/or logos in any fashion, by any commercial or non-commercial organization, is not permitted without prior written permission from the organizer.
