European Oncology Nursing Society

In 1984, the European oncology nursing society was established as the Fellowship of European Oncology Nursing Societies. Mrs. Rosette Poletti was the founding Chairperson. EONS originally had its headquarters at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. The European Oncology Nursing Society is a pan-European organisation committed to the support and development of cancer nurses. Through our individual associates and national societies participate in many projects to help nurses develop their skills, network with each other and raise the profile of cancer nursing across Europe. European oncology nursing society is a self-governing, non-profit, voluntary organisation registered as a charity (UK number 802484).EONS Vision- across Europe all people affected by cancer will benefit from the care of well educated, well informed and highly proficient cancer nurses, who will play a central role in providing support, promoting health and improving clinical outcomes. European oncology nursing society missions- working in partnership to develop and promote excellence in cancer nursing operation through education, research, leadership and support to cancer nurses across Europe. The EONS Board reassess and updated the Strategy during the EONS Board meeting in February 2013.

The EONS Board concur that the existing CARE strategy remained valid and addressed members’ needs.
