The WHO European Health Report 2005 called for significant efforts from all countries to protect and promote children's health. Nurses across Europe have a major role to play in this effort but in many countries they lack the appropriate education and organisational support to make a meaningful contribution. A network of paediatric nursing associations in Europe was formed in 2003 to strengthen nurses' voices in child health policy and improve the potential of nurses to contribute to protecting and promoting the health of children and young people. Based on a consensus definition of the European paediatric nurse, the Paediatric Nursing Associations of Europe has developed consensus position statements on issues such as regulation and educational preparation. These have been used to lobby at national levels with positive results such as new mechanisms for identifying paediatric nurses on some national nursing registers, legislation to protect the use of the title 'paediatric nurse' and consideration of the reintroduction of specific programmes at both pre and post registration level for preparation of paediatric nurses.
《2005年世界卫生组织欧洲健康报告》呼吁所有国家做出重大努力来保护和促进儿童健康。欧洲各地的护士在这项工作中可发挥重要作用，但在许多国家，她们缺乏适当的教育和组织支持，难以做出有意义的贡献。2003年，欧洲成立了一个儿科护理协会网络，以加强护士在儿童健康政策方面的声音，并提高护士为保护和促进儿童及青少年健康做出贡献的潜力。基于欧洲儿科护士的共识定义，欧洲儿科护理协会就监管和教育准备等问题制定了共识立场声明。这些声明已被用于在国家层面进行游说，并取得了积极成果，比如在一些国家的护士登记册上出现了识别儿科护士的新机制、保护“儿科护士”头衔使用的立法，以及考虑重新引入注册前和注册后阶段培养儿科护士的特定项目。
