At the 18th Congress of ECCO in Copenhagen, the Nurses of ECCO (N-ECCO) will host the educational activity for IBD Nurses, N-ECCO School, for the 14th time. ECCO intends to give nurses, who might be still in training and have an interest in IBD, the possibility to attend an IBD-focused course. The ultimate aim of this programme is to improve nurse education throughout Europe.
We are pleased to confirm that in 2023 we are once again welcoming dietitians to participate at the N-ECCO School. As the involvement of dietitians in the treatment of patients is an important part. We also would like to provide delegates from outside of Europe with the possibility to attend a course focusing on the basic aspects of IBD.

The call for nomination of participants was sent out to all N-ECCO National Representatives in September 2020. Candidates who are interested should contact their respective N-ECCO National Representatives well in advance. (Click here to find your National Representative's contact information)
