A Decade of Achievements: International Society of Paediatric Oncology
Baseline Nursing Standards
Abstract
Ten years after the six International Society of Paediatric Oncology
(SIOP) Baseline Standards for Nursing Care in Low- and Middle-Income
Countries (LMIC) were published (2014), multiple LMIC nurses have used
the standards for practice assessment and change. The WHO Global
Initiative for Childhood Cancer has galvanized LMIC member states to
prioritize childhood cancer and save one million lives by 2030. The
CureALL framework highlights critical nursing practice actions aligned
with the nursing standards to meet this goal. SIOP Nursing Network’s
Baseline Standards special interest group has a 5-year strategic plan
for advocacy, research, and standards implementation through global
multidisciplinary collaboration.
