The XXI AESOP National Congress will take place from 8-10 of May 2024, at the Centro de Artes e Espectáculos da Figueira Foz.

The XXI Congress of AESOP 2024 under the motto: “Digital Horizons in Perioperative Nursing”, combines innovation in the area of Perioperative Care, with approaches that reflect the evolution of society and also touch on Perioperative Nursing. This is the case of the increasing digitalization discussed in different sessions of the Congress. We can say that the program of this edition is eclectic in the update of knowledge it provides.

On behalf of EORNA, the Scientific Committee, and the Local Organising Committee it is our great pleasure to invite you to join the 11^th biennial congress of European Perioperative Nurses Association on May 16^th – 18^th 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.

ESNO Congress 2024

“The Specialist Nurse in European Healthcare towards 2030”
Nursing and clinical evidence: which future developments

The central characters of the ESNO congresses are that they are building further on each other towards the affirmation of specialism in nursing in all European countries and also at a broader level. ESNO started this sequence of congresses in 2019 as a three-year series around one title: “The Specialist Nurse in European Healthcare towards 2030”.

All the events, to date, took place in Brussels and due to the pandemic, two were online. From this year we begin a series of yearly congresses to be launched in different European venues to widespread the “Decade of the specialist Nurse 2020-2030. Furthermore, this event will initiate a series of further activities to be held in Brussels and in the EU to contribute to further development of nursing specializations.

Collaboration with other health professionals, regulators and those responsive for policy, is a crucial element in the ESNO congresses. Today’s challenges in health are too great to operate in silos. In this regard, the 5th ESNO congress will be focused on the commitment towards the development of the different forms of nursing specialism in clinical practice via scalable projects, sustained by an adequate formation, focused on strengthening caring abilities in a specific sector or a clinical area, correlated with the identification of care needs and to the evaluation of caring acts and outcomes.

In this conceptual framework, this 5th ESNO congress will represent a moment of reflection on the clinical expert knowledge of nurses to put in practice for the development of clinical nursing fields. These fields include cardiovascular nursing, diabetes, dialysis, endoscopy and gastroenterology, emergency and critical care, medical and surgical care, leadership, mental health and addiction; nursing in anesthesia, operating room nursing, pediatric care, public health and primary care, respiratory care, urology nursing, veterinary nursing, wound care and other specialistic areas that can be foreseen in the redefinition of the citizens offer and that are inescapable to strengthen and renew care focused on the public.

Specific aims

• To analyze the development of the different forms of nursing specialism in clinical practice in the European Union.
• To describe the impact of nursing specialism to strengthen the care of people with chronic diseases and/or linked to disability, vulnerability, and frailty.
• To present studies that have impacted on the change of clinical practice at the international level.
