Welcome

Welcome to the ESNO congress and event website.

While visiting this website, you can witness the great history of ESNO congresses and those upcoming. And with having a look around, you will find all presentation in PowerPoints but also in videos. The central characters of the ESNO congresses are that they are building further on each other. With starting this in 2019 it kicked off as a three-year series around one title: "The Specialist Nurse in European Healthcare towards 2030". The events took place in Brussels and due to the pandemic, also two online.

After the last congress of the series of three in 2021, the outcome of the evaluation learn that it was needed to proceed on the theme, and this leaded to the initiation of the “Decade of the specialist Nurse 2020-2030”. In 2022 during the 12th May International Nursing Day, the program was launched on location in Brussels. This program sets out a series of activities and will contribute to further development of the ESNO events, as each event is building on each other.

The first and next event will have a different character than the traditional congress, and with this, ESNO is setting a new congress standard with the aim to increase the debates and participants interactions and facilitate networking. This is the World Café, addressing the implication of the health workforce to the background of nurse shortages, working condition, absence of recognition and effecting health systems at large. After the event, a report will be composed and launched a few months after, during the next ESNO congress 8 and 9 June 2023 with many nurses involved, windowing their achievements in a wide spectrum of presentations.

Another high relevant characteristic of the ESNO events is to shorten the overall known fact that, published innovations become effective after 15 years or longer, this must change, and implication roads need to be shortened. Collaboration with other health professionals, regulators and those responsive for policy, is a crucial element in the ENSO event. The today’s challenges in health are too great to operate in silos.

So, thanks again for visiting this website, hope you will be inspired by the past activities, and I wish to welcome you in one of the nearby future events.
