The Dutch National Nurses Group is a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Dutch Oncology Nursing Society which also takes part in the Dutch Oncology Nursing Society (V&VN).
Our SIG aims to connect nurses and other care professionals working in haemato-oncology with the ultimate goal of providing excellent care to patients with a haematological disease.
We want to achieve this by:
- Improving disease management for the various haematological diseases
- Maintaining contact with patient associations to identify bottlenecks and needs in care
- Developing an FAQ database on haematological care issues
- Supporting the mission and the objectives of V&VN Oncology
- Giving presentations about the Haematology SIG in nursing training courses and at haematology nursing wards
- Making substantive contributions to the journal of the Dutch Oncology Nursing Society (Oncologica) and other literature
- Presenting our knowledge and expertise at the Dutch Nurses Oncology Congress and other haemato-oncology symposia and congresses
- Making substantive contributions to information and patient instructions and folders of Patients Associations and industry to increase the quality of these products
- Being a national advisory group for (inter)national parties such as HOVON (the Haemato-Oncology Foundation for Adults in the Netherlands), KWF (The Dutch Cancer Society), SKION (the Haemato-Oncology Foundation for Children in the Netherlands), EBMT, ASH.
