EONS Vision and Mission
Vision
Our vision is that people affected by cancer are cared for by specialist cancer nurses across Europe. We envisage cancer nurses becoming confident and empowered, operating as leaders in practice, research, education and policy within the multidisciplinary cancer care setting. We envision a Europe where the health system fluently manages the onboarding of early career nurses and nurses at all career stages.
More precisely, we want to see nurses:
- finding meaning and satisfaction in safe and rewarding work environments
- able to practice to the full extent of their expertise
- enjoying partnership and collaboration with nursing teams, multidisciplinary teams and the European and international cancer nursing communities.
Mission
Our mission is to provide leadership to ensure that all people affected by cancer benefit from the care of educated and competent cancer nurses. We bring together clinicians, academics, policy makers and patient advocates in order to advance evidence-based cancer nursing and the care of people affected by cancer, and to empower and enable cancer nurses to practice safely and to the full extent of their expertise.
