A special invitation to all women working in NET and those who would like to evolve and develop in this field...
ENETS is pleased to announce the launch meeting for Women in NET, which will take place in the framework of the ENETS 2021 Virtual 18th ENETS Annual Conference on Friday, 26 February 2021, from 09:00 - 10:30 Central European Time.
Women represent a growing proportion of physicians in general - and in oncology. However, there are still disparities in career opportunities between men and women. We recognise that women are rarely seen in leadership positions and they often do not find the necessary support to develop their academic career. We see that there is a substantial need for improvement.
This meeting signals a first gathering that will provide you the opportunity to engage with fellow female colleagues as well as senior female leaders in NET. This meeting provides a platform to get to know each other, to exchange experiences, and connect. We encourage you to attend and would like to understand your needs and support you. We envision a variety of support options and would like to share these with you.
Take the first step and join us.
An ENETS Centers of Excellence (CoE) Training Workshop is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, 3 March 2021, from 12:00 - 15:15 Central European Time (CET).
ENETS invites all CoE coordinators, nurse practitioners with coordinating duties in a CoE, and heads of centers to take part in a training course to learn how to best adapt certification procedures and apply certification processes to NET healthcare management.
This workshop primarily targets medical professionals, or teams, looking to become a CoE in the near future or professionals from current CoEs about to undertake a re-accreditation audit.
We recommend that you read though the current CoE Requirements Catalogue in order to learn more about the training course’s content. This document can be downloaded in the ENETS members area.
Online registration is now open. For more information, please contact the ENETS Office: [email protected].
