A Decade of Achievements: International Society of Paediatric Oncology Baseline Nursing Standards

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.
