The Belgian Hematology Society (BHS), with the support of an unrestricted grant from AbbVie, has the pleasure of announcing the “AbbVie Nurse Care Trophy”.
PROJECT SUBMISSION IS OPEN UNTIL 06 MAY!
Nurses involved in hematological care were invited to submit their projects and apply for the AbbVie Nurse Care Trophy. Check out the information flyer.
The jury will select up to 3 project(s) that will contribute to the optimisation of care for patients with blood disorders, which will be awarded with a prize of up to 15.000 euro (to be split into one prize of €10.000, a second prize of €5.000 max, and a last prize of €2.000 if a third project is retained).
These prizes have to be used for the implementation of initiatives both in hospital or outpatient setting (but with a link to the hospital), dedicated to improving the patient journey, or throughout continued education to nurses (participation in exchange programs with hospitals in Belgium and beyond or in events/training sessions for nurses).
The award ceremony will take place at the International Nurse Day organized by BHS on Thursday, 16 May 2024.
