Italian nursing professional initiatives
Overview
The National Federation of Nursing Orders (FNOPI) has undertaken several initiatives to address healthcare workforce management and clinical service optimization in Italy.
In mid-October 2026, FNOPI scheduled a roundtable in Rome to discuss the ‘European Horizon for Nursing Professions: Mobility and Quality Work’. The discussion focused on the transformation of the Italian National Health Service, professional autonomy, and the management of international workforce mobility. Key topics included the EU strategy for the healthcare workforce and the implementation of digital tools like the European Digital Recognition Solution (EDRS).
By late October 2026, FNOPI expanded its focus to clinical infrastructure by signing a two-year memorandum of understanding with the National Blood Center (CNS). This agreement aims to strengthen Italy’s national transfusion network by promoting voluntary donation and implementing organizational models based on ‘task sharing’ and ‘task shifting’ to optimize nursing roles and healthcare resources.
