Brussels Terror Attacks

March 22, 2016

EfCCNa Trauerflor

The EfCCNa is shocked and saddened by the terrorist attacks in Brussels this morning and condemns this senseless killing. The EfCCNa sends its sympathy to the families and friends of those who have died and compassion to those who are critically injured. Our thoughts are with our Belgian intensive care colleagues, especially our members in the Societe des Infirmier(e)s de Soins Intensifs (SIZ), in their efforts to save lives and help survivors cope with the terrible psychological after effects.
Dr Bronagh Blackwood, President of EfCCNa

European Professional Card

March 21, 2016

The introduction of the EPC was one of the major achievements of the modernisation of the Professional Qualifications Directive. The EPC is an innovative tool and fully electronic recognition procedure which further facilitates the mobility of professionals. This includes both employees and the self-employed. The EPC procedure is based on the well-established IMI and provides the possibility for professionals to communicate with authorities electronically. The EPC will first be available in early 2016 for general care nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, real estate agents and mountain guides.
