Early in 1989 a workshop was held in Oxford, UK, to prepare a core curriculum for post‐basic cancer nursing programmes in Europe. Workshop participants were experts in cancer‐nursing education from all over Europe, and were working in response to one of several recommendations made in a report to the ad‐hoc Working Group on Training in Cancer of the Advisory Committee on Training in Nursing of the European Commission (ACTN). The core curriculum was published in 1989, and formed the basis for a Consensus Conference held in 1991, where some minor amendments led to this revised edition. This edition received endorsement from the ACTN in April 1991, and has now been translated by the European Commission for use throughout the member states. Several countries are already piloting programmes or courses based on this curriculum. Others are planning events for 1992 and beyond.
