EANM mission and areas of interest

The strategic objectives that underpin all our policy activity are:

• • The affirmation of nuclear medicine as a dedicated medical speciality requires dedicated policy attention.
  • The advancement of education and training for all specialists involved in the delivery of nuclear medicine procedures.
  • The promotion of policy recommendations for improved accessibility to nuclear medicine services to ensure optimal patient care.

The European Association of Nuclear Medicine has included a European outreach and liaison programme within its new strategy. We monitor and influence the adoption of EU legislation and policies that will impact the access and availability of nuclear medicine services. In close cooperation with our member organisations and member individuals, we follow up on the implementation of EU legislation at the European level.

In this respect, at the EU level, our policy work covers a great number of initiatives, including but not limited to the following:

• Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan,
• SAMIRA Action Plan,
• Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe.
