EAUN Award Winners Gallery - EAUN

Every year the EAUN Chair hands out the Ronny Pieters Award, the Best Poster Presentation Awards and the Prize for the Best EAUN Nursing Research Project Plan. The awards are a vital acknowledgement of the fact that the international urological nursing community is progressive and continues to push the level of clinical practice in urology nursing today.

Nurse scientist Ms. Veronika Geng (DE) has won the prestigious Ronny Pieters Award for her contributions to European urological nursing education. The award was presented at the EAUN Annual Nurses’ Dinner, recognising her 40+ years in nursing research and education.
