Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) associated with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) continues to be a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity, kidney failure, and premature mortality worldwide. As the understanding of the interconnected Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) continuum continues to evolve, healthcare professionals must adopt a proactive, multidisciplinary, and evidence-based approach to identifying and managing patients before irreversible complications occur.
"Who Owns the Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Patient Before the Event Occurs?" is a high-impact virtual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training designed to provide healthcare professionals with the latest clinical evidence, practical treatment strategies, and expert insights into the prevention and management of CKD associated with T2D. The programme will explore the underlying mechanisms driving disease progression—including hemodynamic, metabolic, inflammatory, and fibrotic pathways—and discuss emerging therapeutic approaches, including the role of Finerenone in improving patient outcomes.
Facilitated by distinguished clinicians and subject matter experts with extensive experience in cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and diabetes care, this highly interactive session combines expert presentations, real-world clinical perspectives, and a dynamic expert panel discussion that will allow participants to engage directly with leading specialists.
Whether you are involved in primary care, specialist practice, hospital medicine, pharmacy, nursing, or any discipline involved in the care of patients with diabetes, kidney disease, or cardiovascular conditions, this event promises practical knowledge that can immediately enhance clinical practice.

This interactive hybrid Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the latest evidence-based knowledge and practical strategies for the prevention and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with Type 2 Diabetes within the evolving cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) care framework. Facilitated by highly experienced clinical experts, the programme will explore disease progression, emerging therapeutic approaches, current standards of care, and the clinical role of Finerenone through engaging presentations, practical discussions, and an expert panel session. Participants will gain valuable insights that can be immediately applied to clinical practice while earning accredited CPD points from the relevant professional regulatory bodies.
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the burden, progression and clinical impact of Chronic Kidney Disease in patients living with Type 2 Diabetes.
2. Describe the role of hemodynamic, metabolic, inflammatory and fibrotic pathways in the progression of cardio-kidney-metabolic disease.
3. Interpret the clinical evidence supporting the use of Finerenone, including findings from the FIDELIO-DKD, FIGARO-DKD and FIDELITY clinical trials.
4. Identify patients who are appropriate candidates for Finerenone therapy based on current clinical recommendations.
5. Apply practical strategies for integrating contemporary CKD management into routine clinical practice.
6. Appreciate the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in preventing cardiovascular and kidney complications before major clinical events occur.
