Abstract	Over the past weeks my thoughts have turned to this year’s annual EDTNA/ERCA conference to be held in Genoa, Italy, in September 2018. The theme of this year’s conference is a Global Approach to Renal Care Innovation - Balancing Compassion and Health Technologies. As Editor of the Journal of Renal Care, it is very important that our published papers reflect a balance between compassion and technology. Some readers prefer to read about the practicalities of dialysis which include technology, whilst others favour qualitative papers that focus on patient experience.
