As we come to the end of 2019, we reflect on all what has happened during this hectic year, all that was achieved for the nursing profession, and all that is yet to come.<\/p>\n
We have worked closely with the EU institutions on topics such as the modernisation of Annex V of Directive 55, \u00a0the digitalisation of healthcare, vaccination hesitancy, planetary health, lifelong learning for nurses, and many others. Among the biggest achievements, we would like to highlight that the EFN is now an official non-State partner of the WHO European Region.<\/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. Looking forward to working with you all in 2020.<\/p>\n
We wish you and your family a peaceful Christmas and a happy New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
