Furthermore, recognising the importance of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) to deliver high quality and safe care, the new <strong>EFN Policy Statement <\/strong>and<strong> Position Paper on CPD<\/strong> are calling on the European Commission, national governments, regulators, professional organisations and employers to take actions and guarantee that nurses all over the EU &amp; Europe have access to CPD, supported by appropriate structures and resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, the new <strong>EFN Matrix 3+1<\/strong>, including three categories of nurses (General Care Nurse, Specialist Nurse, and Advanced Nurse Practitioner) + the principles of the Healthcare Assistant (HCA) will provide clarity when collecting comparable data for workforce planning and forecasting in the EU Member States. An EFN working group has been established to look at the HCA profile.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Looking closely into the necessary move from hospitals towards Primary and Community care, the <strong>EFN Policy Statement <\/strong>and <strong>Position paper on \u201cMoving Care to the Community\u201d<\/strong> are calling on the EU key decision-makers to ensure that the frontline workforce is supported with sufficient EU funding, in order to make integrated care a success. Furthermore, to engage the nursing profession in the deployment of the European Digital Agenda to make EU policies \u201cfit for practice\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, the EFN Members noted the results of the <strong>Ebola questionnaire<\/strong> that will be taken forward during the Luxembourg Presidency.

This was done bearing in mind, that it is important to strengthen the nursing research at EU level, in order to deliver evidence-based policy-making \u00a0and ensure that political decisions are taken to improve the daily realities of the European nurses and to bring in appropriate measures to improve the access to high quality healthcare services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeting in Brussels on 16-17 April 2015 for the 102nd&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4056,"url":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/?p=4056","url_meta":{"origin":6789,"position":0},"title":"EFN 98th General Assembly, 11-12 April 2013, Brussels","author":"efn efn","date":"April 16, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"Setting the scene for EFN lobby work, the EFN Members present in the EFN 98th Brussels General Assembly had the opportunity to discuss & share their views on key policy issues, such as: the last developments of the revision of the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive (Directive 2005\/36\/EC); Continuous\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Latest News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Latest News","link":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/?cat=35"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Welcome-to-EFN-GA2.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":17622,"url":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/?p=17622","url_meta":{"origin":6789,"position":1},"title":"EFN Autumn General Assembly","author":"efn efn","date":"October 19, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"The EFN Members met in Warsaw (Poland) for the 119th EFN General Assembly, where key EU policy topics, having a huge impact on nurses and the nursing profession were discussed, as: the EU elections with a new European Commission & European Parliament in place; EFN Advanced Practice Nurse developments; Continuous\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Latest News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Latest News","link":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/?cat=35"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241018_095821-scaled.jpg?fit=900%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241018_095821-scaled.jpg?fit=900%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241018_095821-scaled.jpg?fit=900%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/efn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241018_095821-scaled.jpg?fit=900%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":8170,"url":"https:\/\/efn.eu\/?p=8170","url_meta":{"origin":6789,"position":2},"title":"104th EFN General Assembly &#8211; Key decisions taken from European nursing leaders on topics impacting on nurses daily operational environment","author":"efn efn","date":"October 31, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"The EFN governance body led to successful policy outcomes (Madrid on 20-21 October 2016), creating opportunities to focus down on the EFN key lobby priorities and providing the mandate to lobby the European Institutions.
