An important goal identified by the EBMT Nurses Group (NG) Board is to expand and optimise existing educational projects making them accessible to all haematology nurses across Europe.

With this in mind the EBMT NG has worked on educational projects regarding:

• Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)

• Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)

• Adherence and Compliance in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

• Bone Health in Multiple Myeloma (MM)

Furthermore the Board took the initiative to get more involved in the Educational Committee to work on combined education and also to give a contribution on the EBMT Handbook in 2011.

The EBMT Nurses Group firmly believes that by investing more in research and education together with other EBMT Working Parties and Committees, the care for the patients can be improved and this forms the basis of the group’s primary objectives.
