Survey on AMR innitated by ECDC, Specialist Nurses involvement


Special announcement on ECDC Survey January 2019 on Antimicrobial Resistance with key role for Specialist Nurses.


In the collaboration with European Medicine Agency (EMA), the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) on the topic Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), ESNO participated in the development of a ECDC-funded survey to assess Healthcare Workers knowledge and attitudes about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. Our involvement was the Specialist Nurses view. The aim is to have an overall return of 10,000+ responses across the EU and EEA member. The Survey will be published in January 2019. 
The overall objective of the study for ECDC is to fill in gaps in terms of evaluation of communication campaigns targeting healthcare workers and to gain a better understanding of their knowledge and perceptions to provide a base to support future needs in terms of policy and education changes.
As ESNO representing European Specialist Nurses with the ECDC, we are especially interested to learn from Specialist Nurses where the current gaps are and based on outcome initiate education activities in Europe for Specialist Nurses. 
Once you receive the link to the survey in January, we would very much appreciate if you could disseminate it throughout your nurses network and organisations.
Your time, willingness and interest would be of great value to us.
Thank you in advance.

ESNO, Nurses Guide on AMR and Vaccination

In process, the ESNO Nurses Information and Education Guide on Anti Microbial Resistance (AMR) and Vaccination   Regarding  the current role of nurses in combatting antimicrobial resistance (AMR), ESNO regards that thus far there had been a lack of involvement of specialist nurses on this issue and that there is great potential to increase involvement in the areas of antimicrobial stewardship, surveillance of the incidence of drug-resistant infections and education of patients on this topic. ESNO aims to raise awareness and educate nurses on this topic; equipping nurses to tackle AMR is now a top priority for the organisation. In addition, this initiative also acts as an extension of a request from the European Commission to ESNO to play an active role on AMR and Vaccination  On the vaccination, in recent years, ESNO has observed a significant increase in infectious diseases that could be prevented by vaccination. This increase was also accompanied by serious outbreaks, result

"We're Back" about why and how the #Caring4Nurses campaign

"We're back!" Is this what #COVID19 could have been thinking, as the world entered another global viral pandemic? While some people had been predicting a pandemic from an emerging virus for some years, no-one expected the rapid global spread of #COVID19, or the seriousness of the illness and its potential long-term effects. The health systems and the healthcare professionals providing first contact with patients had to take responsibility for patient care, even though they couldn't be fully prepared. Many of these were nurses, from those working around the clock to provide first contact with patients to those working equally hard in the background, as project leads, and in management, research and education. All of this in 2020, the #yearofthenurse. We are very pleased with the positive response to the nurses' hard work. The applause from the public, the debates on recognition of nurses' place in society, the responses from governments on pay and working condi
