On behalf of EORNA, the Scientific Committee, and the Local Organising Committee it is our great pleasure to invite you to join the 11th biennial congress of European Perioperative Nurses Association on May 16th – 18th 2024.
The 11th EORNA Congress will take place in Spain, specifically in Valencia, at the Palacio de Congresos.
The theme of the congress is LIGHTS OF HOPE. There are a lot going on in the world now. The political atmosphere is distressing, and the pandemic has had its influence in everyone’s life. Perioperative nurses have struggled with work in their own as well as other units, where their contributions have been significant. Even though the pandemic seems to be reaching its end, we are still paying its consequences for a while. The theme of the congress reflects hope for the better, light at the end of the tunnel. Let’s hope the light shines brightly in Valencia 2024.
We look forward to welcoming you to the EORNA 2024 Congress, Europe’s landmark meeting on perioperative nursing, for an inspiring and joyful experience to advance our field a step further.
