50 años por la enfermedad renal

Abstract

Dear SEDEN,

It is wonderful to look back and see the path you have traveled over these years, long or short, depending on how they are viewed and lived.

Although years have passed in the wink of an eye since that first nursing society founded in Spain in 1975, the history of SEDEN¹ has been lived and grown intensely and with great achievements.

Surely Jandry Lorenzo and Rosa Lavari—heads of the first meeting held at Hotel Ercilla in Bilbao (Spain) —did not suspect that 50 years later, thousands of nurses would come to SEDEN as an unequivocal sign that those always responsible for the care of the renal patient had, and have, the need to meet, listen to, and understand each other.

The essential excellence in care, the sharing of experience, the research spirit, the improvement in the management of our services, the concern for the promotion of knowledge, and the dissemination of the best available evidence associated with digital evolution, has been and is our inexhaustible roadmap. A roadmap that we unfold with a firm step, not without difficult and complicated moments.
