COVID-19

EONS recognizes the immense pressure and additional work that many of our members are under in response to COVID-19.
In many countries, conditions for cancer care have become more difficult, nurses are being asked to change roles, work longer hours or, go back in to uniform from their positions in academia or cancer centres for example.

EONS strongly supports the role of all health care professionals, especially our cancer nurses at this time, and we are trying to ensure that all our current activities and plans put the safety of patients, their support networks and cancer nurses first. Until April 6th communications to our members will be kept to a minimum, and many events such as the face-to-face ECND meetings and workshops have been cancelled. For the time being however we are still planning for EONS13 at ESMO in September.

Please place your own safety and well-being first, and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about EONS’ work. EONS.secretariat@cancernurse.eu
