Project – Biosimilars Nurses Guide version 2.0

Background

In 2018 the ESNO Biosimilars focus group contributed to the shaping of the Biosimilars Information and Communication guide for nurses. That was a project that spanned a year with support from Medicines for Europe and EFPIA. That project was a result of the publication of the Information guide on Biosimilars for health professionals of the EMA. The ESNO contributed to this, but was ultimately very medical oriented. With Medicines for Europe and EFPIA we then created a guide in line with the guide for patients. The guide has been published in 8 languages, printed in English and Dutch. The intention was to further shape it afterwards, such as making a sequel based on new information and insights. Also conducting online educational activities and presentations. The latter is still in the planning, but depends on the right moment and people and institutions who want to support it
