Welcome to the Global Power of Oncology Nursing

GPON's mission is to provide a global forum for the recognition of the specialty of oncology nursing, to bridge the gap of disparities in cancer care and to share oncology nurses’ experiences, challenges and successes. GPON's vision is to achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all, in the context of cancer care (SDG 3.8).

Global Power of Oncology Nursing (GPON) Conference
‘United to Lead through Adversity’
Saturday 11th November 2023 07.00-11.00 (GMT) and 20.00-22.200 (GMT)

The Global Power of Oncology Nursing (GPON) Conference is a free, virtual and vibrant event, held annually as part of London Global Cancer Week, focusing on the remarkable work of nurses working in the field of cancer globally, in particular those nurses in low and middle income countries (LMIC). Nurses come together in a safe and dynamic space to, recognise and celebrate diversity, ensure more inclusive health care practice, learn about inspirational and innovative approaches to nursing care, share stories, engage in discussions and debates, celebrating nursing practice, education and research. Many of the presenters live and work in LMIC and have been affected by natural and humanity-made disasters. Colleagues will speak about creative solutions to improve cancer care where access to healthcare is often poor or lacking. Nurses working with their colleagues continue to make an important difference to supporting people living with cancer. Come and join us for this lively global event.
