In an emotional ceremony, held in the context of the Congress of the Italian National Regulatory Nursing Authority (FNOPI), that took place in Rimini on March 22nd, FNOPI President Barbara Mangiacavalli, and our President Mircea Timofte, co-signed the document of FNOPI’s adhesion to the European Nursing Council (ENC).
Our two organisations stressed the necessity to strengthen nursing regulation, patients rights, and public health and safety across the Union, and pledged to work together towards providing high-quality care to the citizens of the EU, by promoting Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for nurses, and by ensuring fitness to practice and respect of Codes of Conduct.
On behalf of the President, Ms. Roxana Rotocol presented the work of ENC to our Italian colleagues, whilst our Senior Policy Advisor, Professor Dr. Theodoros Koutroubas, discussed the challenges that await Nursing and Healthcare in the five years of Von Der Leyen’s Commission second term.
