Welcome Address for the 7th ESNO Congress
Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Distinguished Guests, and Friends,
It is my great honour and privilege to welcome you to the 7th European Specialist Nurses Organisation (ESNO) Congress, held this year in the vibrant and historic city of Zagreb, 29-31 May 2025. Our gathering is not just an event but a significant milestone as we come together to address the most pressing issues of our time under the theme, “Green Future, Health Workplace: Nurse Specialist Leading the Way!”.
In this congress, we focus on innovation, education, and recognition, with a special emphasis on creating a healthier environment for our patients, our communities, and ourselves. As nurse specialists, we are at the forefront of these efforts, leading the charge towards a sustainable and healthier future.
Our world is facing unprecedented challenges, particularly in the realms of environmental health and workplace well-being. It is crucial that we, as healthcare professionals, not only adapt to these changes but also lead the green health transformation. This congress serves as a platform for us to share our knowledge, ideas, and experiences, driving forward the innovations that will shape the future of healthcare.
This congress, we have the privilege of welcoming a diverse group of stakeholders from across the health domain. Together, we will discuss the key challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, forging partnerships that will enhance our collective impact. Your participation is not only welcomed but vital as we explore how we can work together to create healthier environments and workplaces.
To set the stage and ease into the congress, we will continue our tradition of starting with our 4th Hackathon on the first day. This creative and collaborative experience will not only set the tone but also foster a spirit of innovation and camaraderie among all participants, making you feel welcome and connected before the formal opening.
As we prepare to gather for these days of learning, discussion, and collaboration, I encourage each of you to ready yourselves to engage fully, share your insights, and embrace the opportunities to innovate and lead. Together, we can shape a green future and a healthy workplace, with nurse specialists leading the way.
Soon a Call for Abstracts will be opened and in this stage, please reserve these day’s to connect with us.
Once again, welcome to the 7th ESNO Congress. Let us make this a congress to remember, a congress where ideas turn into action and where the future of healthcare is reimagined.
Thank you, and I look forward to the fruitful discussions ahead.
Sincerely,
Dr. Adriano Friganović, MSN, PhD, FESNO
