Special appeal for Pathways specialist nurse services in Lebanon, Ukraine & Sudan

Registration is open for patient organisations wishing to join National Patient Organisation Networks (NPON)

NPON is positioned as a professional body for patient organisations and the NPON community identified the need to demonstrate the contribution of patient organisations in local health systems.

Some of the next activities we will be working on in each network are:

• Developing a scope of practice statement for patient organisations

•Identifying standard operating procedures for common activities

• Developing a code of conduct/Standards for patients organisations

• Develop NPON as an accreditation body for patient organisation activities 

In addition to registering your patient organisations, EOIs are open for Standing Committee members to guide this global health initiative.
