It has been a true privilege to take part in the 52nd Annual Meeting of the EBMT.
Being able to share experiences, knowledge, and perspectives with nurses from across Europe—and beyond—has been both inspiring and enriching. These moments remind us that we are part of something much bigger: a community that learns, grows, and evolves together.
This meeting has also been an opportunity to continue weaving and strengthening our professional network—building bridges between hematology nurses, and especially those dedicated to apheresis. Connections that go beyond borders, creating a shared space where ideas flow, support is found, and collaboration becomes the driving force for progress.
Our field is becoming increasingly visible, and we will continue working to ensure it remains so. To answer the questions that arise in our daily practice, to respond to the needs we face as professionals, and to keep sharing knowledge and experience that ultimately improve patient care.
I would especially like to thank Ange Leather and María Jesús Mustieles —two incredible colleagues, truly the best one could ask for.
To Hilda Rip-Mekelenkamp, Michelle Kenyon and Marijke Quaghebeur, for their constant support.
And, above all, to my colleagues from the Apheresis Nursing Group—because without them, none of this would have been posible.
