ENETS Nurse & Dietitian Group – 2025 Questionnaire

At ENETS, we understand the importance of connecting with and supporting our community of nurses and dietitians caring for patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). However, reaching and identifying all our nurse and dietitian members remains a challenge.

In our 2019 study, which involved nurses from 26 different countries, we discovered that 51% of nurses caring for NET patients did not feel confident in managing their care. This highlights a clear need for greater support, education, and collaboration.

With the 2025 questionnaire, we seek to better understand:

  • Who are the nurses and dietitians in our network?
  • What are their needs?
  • What are their expectations of our group?
  • How might they contribute to and benefit from our activities?

Whether you work in an ENETS Center of Excellence (CoE) or not, your feedback is invaluable. We are particularly eager to hear from colleagues working within CoEs, as we believe that nurses and dietitians deserve greater recognition and involvement in centre visitation processes.

By strengthening our network, we aim to:

  • Improve collaboration
  • Share expertise
  • Expand educational opportunities
  • Support professional development across the field
