The next EONS conference – EONS17 – will take place in Barcelona in September 2024. This will be EONS 40th anniversary year, so you can look forward to a bumper event, featuring the usual high quality sessions and speakers, plus some great celebrations to mark this important moment in the history of our organisation. We’ll be looking back at what we’ve achieved but also forward to how we will shape the future of cancer nursing.
