The Canadian Association of Hepatology Nurses (CAHN) welcomes you to the Special Liver Nurse Summit in Toronto. CAHN is honoured to host this first-ever liver nurse meeting within the Global Hepatitis Summit, which only occurs once every three years. CAHN’s Conference Planning Committee has worked to bring together an international speaker forum that will address clinical pearls, best practices, trends, advances in hepatology nursing, and global innovations. We are confident that you will find this conference informative, and that the work presented by these leaders in our field can improve your practice.
If you attended the Canadian Liver Meeting in February and received travel reimbursement, you are still eligible for travel reimbursement for 2 nights accommodation (June 13 and 14) and travel up to $500.00 to attend the Nursing Summit as per CAHN’s Conference Travel Policy. As there is no AGM, you must attend the Networking Breakfast on Friday, June 15, from 07:00 to 09:00, to qualify for reimbursement.
