As we come to the end of 2018, it is an opportunity to reflect on all the work achieved in partnership and collaboration with all the EFN members, the EU Stakeholders and the EU policy makers, for all the nurses we represent and the citizens across Europe. Without such commitment and relentless work of all the key players we would not be able to achieve all we do collectively.<\/p>\n
2018 brought an intense lobby work, raising the nursing profession challenges, at national and EU levels, and great opportunities to develop strong alliances with the EU Health Stakeholders, and EU policy-makers, designing the EU health policies. 2019 will for sure build further on all the hard work started in 2018, knowing that a lot is happening at EU level, namely on Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, workforce, education; and will undertake successfully the upcoming opportunities for the nursing profession.<\/p>\n
The EFN would like to take this opportunity to wish you all our sincere appreciation for generously giving of your time, expertise and wisdom to drive the work of EFN.<\/p>\n
Looking forward to working with you all in 2019.<\/p>\n
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
