Organisation

Councils

The Councils are permanent units that tackle gaps and overarching strategic aspects.

EANM Councils

Councils are permanent internal groups created to advise the EANM Board on operational and overarching aspects. They also coordinate and supervise their implementation in accordance with EANM’s vision and mission, aiming at guaranteeing and constantly improving the quality of all EANM activities and deliverables in a streamlined manner.

EANM Advisory Council

The Advisory Council provides advice and feedback about EANM’s current strategy and structure, facilitating the bi-directional flow of information between the Board, the internal groups and the other EANM bodies. It is composed of the Board and the Chairs of the EANM Committees and Councils.

Mission

EANM aims to assist specialists in advancing healthcare and disseminating knowledge. To maintain the integrity of its actions and statements, EANM prioritises independence and a transparent management of secondary interests. 

Therefore, EANM has established the Ethics Council to provide ethical oversight over the organisation’s management. The EANM Ethics Council’s mission includes: 

  • Developing comprehensive guiding principles, rules of procedures, and standard operating procedures to make sure that EANM manages secondary interests transparently and objectively. 
  • Ensuring that the nuclear medicine professionals holding offices or mandates within EANM are free from any conflict of interest that could compromise their commitment to the organisation’s mission. 
  • Identifying and addressing potential conflict of interest relating to commercial entities or other interest groups that might influence decisions within the framework of EANM.

EANM Guidelines & Publications Council (GPC)

Mission

The EANM Guidelines & Publications Procedures Council (GPC) is committed to enhancing the quality and impact of EANM publications within our community, with a specific focus on clinical guidelines, procedural/practice guidelines, and expert statements. The GPC aims to provide a structured and strategic approach to developing, standardising, and disseminating high-quality, evidence-based EANM documents.

The GPC aims to support clinicians, technologists, and other stakeholders in the field by offering clear, accessible, and decisive EANM guidelines that reflect the latest advancements and best practices. By fostering collaboration with clinical societies and experts, we ensure that all EANM publications meet rigorous standards of quality and relevance, ultimately improving patient care and professional practice.

The GPC’s objectives include:

Defining publication types and standards: Establishing clear definitions, scopes, and purposes for each type of EANM publication (ie. clinical guidelines, procedural guides, and expert statements/position papers). The GPC aims to set minimum quality requirements to ensure usability and standardisation across Europe.

Ensuring methodological rigor: Developing robust methodologies for consensus-building and decision-making to achieve high thresholds of agreement and reliability in our EANM guidelines.

Effective communication: Enhancing both external and internal communication strategies to raise awareness, promote engagement (including other clinical societies), and align with broader organisational strategies.

By fulfilling these objectives, the GPC is dedicated to driving excellence in guidelines and publications, thereby supporting the continuous improvement of practice standards and outcomes in our field.
