WHO WE ARE:
The SIOP Nursing Network is a global community of SIOP paediatric oncology nurse members and other health professionals representing 75+ countries. We aspire toward a world where all children and adolescents with cancer have access to and receive specialised nursing care. To achieve this vision, we are committed to the mission of advancing the quality of nursing care of children and adolescents with cancer and their families across the care continuum through global collaboration, education, training, research, and advocacy. The 2023-2027 SIOP Nursing Network Strategic Plan sets the network’s vision, mission, core values, and strategic goals for the next five years. Our ultimate goal is to support an active year-round nursing community where everyone has a place, a voice, and an opportunity to get involved and connected. We also aim to spotlight nurses’ activities in various networks and committees across the Society and intercontinentally.
