18th ANECORM Congress – Nursing Coordinators of Material Resources

he 18th ANECORM Congress will take place in Bilbao from October 1 to 3, 2025, under the theme “Supporting excellence in care through the Nurse Manager of Material Resources.” This event will be a unique opportunity to reflect, share, and move forward together toward a more efficient, safe, and patient-centered healthcare system.

The program will address the role of the Nurse Manager of Material Resources as a driver of best practices, the integration of evidence-based knowledge into daily work, and the incorporation of innovation, technology, and humanization in healthcare. Topics will also include efficiency tools in nursing resource management, leadership, teamwork, communication, and change implementation.

Key discussions will focus on public procurement processes, collaboration with purchasing departments, product catalogues, evaluation criteria, and technical reports, as well as legislative frameworks, including updates on public procurement law and European medical device regulations. Finally, the congress will reflect on system-wide efficiency through logistics, centralized purchasing, product life cycle, cost analysis, and value-based procurement.

As every year, participants are encouraged to contribute with oral presentations, posters, and, for the first time, infographics—a dynamic way to share knowledge. The 18th ANECORM Congress promises to be an enriching space for exchanging ideas, projects, and experiences in a collaborative and welcoming environment.
