The European Specialist Nurses Organisation (ESNO) offers a specialist nurses fellowship program designed for nursing leaders in the fields of education, management, practice, and research. Fellows in this program represent a diverse group of professionals, including association executives, university presidents, chancellors, and deans, elected officials, state and federal political appointees, hospital chief executives, vice presidents for nursing, nurse consultants, as well as researchers and entrepreneurs. Being invited to apply for the Fellowship is not merely a recognition of one's accomplishments within the nursing profession. ESNO Fellows also bear the responsibility of dedicating their time and efforts to actively contribute to the specialist nurses academic domain. Furthermore, they are encouraged to engage with other healthcare leaders both within and beyond Europe, with the shared goal of transforming healthcare systems. This transformation aims to enhance the quality of healthcare and healthcare leadership on a global scale by:
Promoting specialist nurses nationally and internationally;
Close collaboration via ESNO structure;
Enhancing the quality of health and nursing;
Promoting healthy aging and human development across the life continuum;
Reducing health disparities and inequalities;
Shaping healthy behaviours and environments;
Integrating mental and physical health;
Strengthening the nursing and health delivery system, nationally, and internationally.
Our vision is to empower European specialist nurses and nurses in advanced roles and responsibilities, through a transformative fellowship program that fosters excellence, innovation, and collaboration in healthcare. We aim to cultivate a European community of highly skilled and knowledgeable specialist and advanced nursing professionals who are at the forefront of patient care, research, and leadership, driving positive change in the European health landscape.
Our mission is to provide a comprehensive fellowship program that equips European specialist nurses with the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources to excel in their respective fields. Through a combination of immersive learning experiences, mentorship, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
