First European Nursing and Midwifery Week
on 18 April 2023
The European Nursing & Midwifery Week (#ENMW2023) was developed by EFNNMA, a collaborative organization of WHO Regional Office for Europe, to celebrate and recognise nurses and midwives in Europe.
The European Nursing and Midwifery Week (5-12 May 2023) aims to:
- Advocate for nursing and midwifery and a more inclusive society across Europe
- Raise awareness and reinforce existing messages about the Nursing & Midwifery workforce and its role in health and social care, aligned with key organizations at European level.
- To build trust and innovative ways of working together between all professionals contributing to nursing and midwifery at local, national, regional, and European levels.
The general idea for this year is to create a map of the WHO European Region with the country's nursing & midwifery initiatives/celebrations/conferences (online, face-to-face, blended, video, messages, and so on) in all European languages. EFNNMA will create a map in a special website and repository. This will be useful for connecting nurses & midwives.
It's time to show and share your nursing and midwifery pride every day across Europe.
The First European Nursing and Midwifery Week takes place during the first full week of May (5-12 May and closing days). It encourages people to get involved in a growing movement for a healthy Europe.
We are stronger when we work together.
