As such it cannot be used for EU policy-making. Therefore, an updated and comprehensive picture on the nursing profession is needed.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As such, the EFN members decided to develop an \u201cEU Nursing Workforce Matrix 3+1\u201d to be used at EU level, by collecting qualitative and quantitative data on the three categories of nursing care (general care nurse, specialist nurse and advanced practice nurse), and recognising the important role of Healthcare Assistants (HCAs) and the leading role of nurses in their supervision in the development of HCAs.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Matrix, which includes information on education, qualifications and competences for each category, and shows the commonalities and differences of the three categories and the HCAs among 35 EU countries, is a flexible working document that will be updated according to upcoming available research &amp; developments at EU level, while recognising that individual member states may encourage the development of additional skills and competencies not listed in the matrix.<\/p><ul><li style=\"text-align: justify;\">To read the <strong>EFN Workforce Matrix 3+1 Executive Summary <\/strong><em>(Revised in July 2023)<\/em>, click<a href=\"https:\/\/efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/EFN-Workforce-Matrix-31-Executive-Summary-May-2017-REV-July-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\">To read the<strong> EFN Workforce Matrix 3+1 <\/strong><em>(Revised in January 2026)<\/em>, click <a href=\"https:\/\/efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EFN-Workforce-Matrix-31-Final-Oct.2016-REV-Jan.2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read also <strong>EFN <a href=\"http:\/\/www.efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/EFN-Policy-Statement-on-EU-Nursing-Workforce-Matrix-3-11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Policy Statement<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/EFN-Position-Paper-on-EU-Nursing-Workforce-Matrix-3-11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Position Paper<\/a> on EU Nursing Workforce Matrix 3+1<\/strong><em> (March 2017).<\/em><\/li><li>To see the <strong>revised EFN Workforce Matrix 3+1 Categories, especially the development of APN<\/strong> in the EU and Europe <em>(Revised in June 2023)<\/em>, click <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/EFN-Workforce-Matrix-31-categories-Final-Oct.2016-REV-June-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>. <strong><em><br \/><\/em><\/strong><\/li><li>For more information on the <strong>work of the EFN Working Group on APN<\/strong>, click <a href=\"https:\/\/efn.eu\/?page_id=15936\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to EU Workforce for Health, minimum progress&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8220","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8220"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19496,"href":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8220\/revisions\/19496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
