The 47th PNAE meeting was held in person, hosted by France and it was connected to the 7th PNAE Congress.
It was an amazing meeting, which began with the sharing of the new PNAE lapel pins. As a welcome gesture, each PNAE member received a lapel pin from a nearby colleague and then offered it to the next PNAE member.
Charles Eury, the PNAE member from France, gave us, as hosting country, an update about paediatric nursing in France.
Moreover, he updated all of us on the latest news regarding the 7th PNAE Congress, organised in collaboration with the French National Association of Paediatric Nurses and Students (ANPDE), which will be attended by around 650 participants!

Moreover also Valentina Vanzi, the President of National Board for Paediatric Nurses of Italy, partecipated. Their participation was a great honour for all PNAE members and provided a valuable opportunity to meet each other and share PNAE working practices.
