ABOUT US

In 1968, the Canadian Society of Extracorporeal Technicians (CANSECT) was formed and Letters Patent were granted by the Canadian government. From 1968 to 1974, CANSECT was composed of members involved in the fields of heart & lung perfusion and dialysis. These two different disciplines were linked by the common concept of extracorporeal circulation. In 1975, the differences between these two groups grew to outweigh the common purpose that brought them together. The two groups separated and the dialysis membership adopted the name, Canadian Society of Perfusionists (C.S.P.). In 1977, this group became the Canadian Society of Dialysis Perfusionists (CSDP) or the Societe canadienne des perfusionistes en dialyse.

In 1984, we again effected a name change to the Canadian Association of Nephrology Nurses and Technicians (CANNT) or L'Association canadienne des infirmieres en techniciens de nephrologie. In 1996 the name was again changed to the Canadian Association of Nephrology Nurses and Technologists. This name change reflects not only the growth and expansion that has occurred in our specialty, but emphasizes our increasing awareness of identity - who we are and what we do. We are nurses and technologists involved in the specialized care of nephrology patients. We care for patients during the entire continuum of end stage renal failure; during conservative management; throughout all modalities of dialytic intervention; during transplantation; during life and during death. We care for patients who require total care, limited care, and self care.
