EFN Manifesto<\/span>
<\/strong>Ahead of the upcoming European Parliament elections in June 2024, the EFN has developed a Manifesto highlighting its key political message on education, health workforce and quality & safety. The EFN members have been invited to fully use the Manifesto at national level to influence their candidate MEPs. With up to 6 million nurses in Europe, the EFN and its members are a significant voting force. They are, therefore, calling on MEPs to support the following priorities and use their influence to help: Invest in nursing education, Life-long Learning & Continuous Professional Development at European and national level; Ensure optimal wages, fair working conditions and health workforce capacity building; Take national and EU initiatives to stop Violence against Nurses.<\/p>

Invest in Nursing to Save Lives!<\/strong><\/h2>
