Training breast care nurses throughout Europe: the EONS postbasic curriculum for breast cancer nursing.

Background: The European Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer and the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists state that there is a need for EU agreed guidelines on breast care nursing and training. Therefore the European Oncology Nursing Society (EONS) commissioned the development of a post-basic curriculum for breast cancer nursing.

Purpose: The goal was to define a European curriculum for the training of breast care nurses.
