Introduction

Dear Colleague,

The Haematology Nurses & Healthcare Professionals Group invites you to attend its Educational Conference for nurses and other allied health care professionals,
in order to optimize the treatment and care of patients and their families.

The Educational Conference will be held on Friday, 8th and Saturday 9th November 2024 at the University Hospital Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland.

During this Educational Conference an attractive mixed educational programme will be offered. A panel of European experts will provide updates on recent developments and on the management of haematological / oncological disorders as well as on topics surrounding haematological / oncological clinical practice today. We are pleased to be able to offer this meeting as a Hybrid event with virtual attendance available (the translation will only be available in site and not online).

Accessibility is the key to our success in this endeavour, so we will be running simultaneous translation in one language (German). This will ensure that nurses and other allied health care professionals can benefit at the meeting venue.

We look forward to welcoming you in Zürich or online for an outstanding Educational Conference!

Kind regards,

The Board of the Haematology Nurses & Healthcare Professionals Group

Erik Aerts, President, Zürich (CH)
Mairéad Ní Chonghaile, Vice-President, Dublin (IRL)
Sarah Liptrott, Secretary/Treasurer, Bellinzona (CH)
Liz O’Connell, Board Member, Dublin (IRL)
