Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of specialist nurses is becoming increasingly pivotal in shaping the future of European healthcare systems. As we approach 2030, there is an urgent need to address the evolving competencies, challenges, and opportunities faced by specialist nurses in diverse clinical settings. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research that highlights the impact of specialist nursing on patient outcomes, healthcare policy, and clinical practice. We welcome contributions that explore innovative practices, educational advancements, and policy frameworks that support the growth and development of specialist nurses. Submissions that build on presentations from the ESNO Congress are particularly encouraged, as they reflect the cutting-edge discussions shaping the vision for the future of specialist nursing in Europe.
