The Norwegian Association, NSFLOS was proud to host the 10th biennial congress of the European Operating Room Nurses Association. This year’s EORNA Congress was held in Norway in the beautiful city of Stavanger from 12th – 15th of May 2022 and was organised by K.I.T Group GmbH. The venue, Stavanger Forum is one of Norway’s largest conference and exhibition centres. With the target audience for this medical event is bringing together all committed nurses, leaders, and perioperative professionals.

EORNA exists to enhance and develop perioperative patient care across Europe. It was founded in 1980 by a group of innovative European perioperative nurses and formally launched in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1992. There are currently 25 member associations. The official language of EORNA is English.

The scientific programme offered delegates a wide range of innovative and interesting topics, through oral presentations, poster sessions and workshops. EORNA 2019 in the Netherlands welcomed delegates from over 40 countries. In 2021, EORNA held a virtual Congress which gathered around 500 delegates. It is a huge opportunity to learn and to share knowledge with colleagues from around the world.

The congress theme was "WINDS OF CHANGE", indicative that this profession is constantly moving forward to enhance perioperative care, with more advanced technology for quality and safety of patient care in operating theatres. All these developments require the attention and commitment of the entire surgical team, which are the force that has the power to make the changes. As we already know, not only the operating theatres’ environment is changing, but also the world surrounding us. Based on this knowledge we know how essential it is to have updated expertise and always be prepared for new changes. We hope our congress will contribute to this.

Sales Director Tom Caley commented, “It was great to be back exhibiting and having key discussions with Nurses from across Europe and beyond, about our �山���� products”. �山���� looks forward to the 11th EORNA Congress in 2024 which is scheduled to be held in Valencia, Spain.
