In the longer term, the ultimate aim is to ensure sustainability for the ENhANCE project results, which at its most central is about achieving a broad and widespread recognition at the European level of Family Community Nurses (FCNs).
This recognition can be facilitated by ensuring a greater adoption and formal recognition of the professional profile at national or regional level, but also by continuing the work commenced with ENhANCE at the European level – namely to ensure a harmonised definition of the FCN Professional Profile relevance of the competencies and the associated European curriculum for FCN.
However, with a view to the variability in the organisation, structure, and governance of primary care and community-based care services across Europe, we would like to share with you a summary of key recommendations aimed at and policy and decision-makers.
The recommendations herein have been kept broad to ensure their relevance and applicability across the different cultural, health and social care contexts and have been made available in a short summary and infographic format available for download here. |
