The event highlighted the complex Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) challenges faced by nurses and allied healthcare professionals and explored possible solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the two days, the EFN highlighted the importance of developing EU-legislation on Safe Staffing Levels, with nurse-to-patient ratios, across all healthcare settings, in order to address these challenges. Importantly, this position is supported by the European Parliament, which called in its <a href=\"https:\/\/oeil.europarl.europa.eu\/oeil\/en\/procedure-file?reference=2025\/2062(INI)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INI Report on the Health Workforce<\/a> to recognise Unsafe Staffing Levels as an occupational hazard, and therefore called on the European Commission to develop an obligatory framework to address this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, the EFN took this opportunity to present the <a href=\"https:\/\/keepcaring.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KEEPCARING Project<\/a>, which brings together research institutions, clinical partners, technology developers, and end-users representatives, like EFN, to design, test, and evaluate research and evidence-based interventions that strengthen workforce resilience in hospital settings. Importantly, the KEEPCARING Project is working towards developing evidence-based interventions to address individual, team, and organizational stressors, and thus improve the wellbeing and resilience of frontline healthcare professionals.
