What Polskie Towarzystwo Pielęgniarstwa Infuzyjnego - Polish Society of Infusion Nursing does

Polskie Towarzystwo Pielęgniarstwa Infuzyjnego (PTPI), founded in 2023 and registered in Warsaw, is Poland's first dedicated professional society for infusion nursing. The association operates as a non-profit membership organization serving registered nurses, nursing specialists, and multidisciplinary healthcare professionals involved in vascular access and infusion therapy. Its statutory mission is to develop the infusion nursing specialty, standardize clinical practice (USG-guided catheter insertion, ANTT aseptic technique, midline/PICC/TIVAD management), and improve patient safety through education, scientific publishing, and policy advocacy. The organization has 9 employees and is governed by an elected Board (2023-2027 term) led by President Maciej Latos.

PTPI delivers a portfolio of educational, scientific, and community-building products organized around five pillars: (1) publications — the co-published biannual European Journal of Infusion Nursing and the quarterly member magazine Infuzyjne; (2) structured training — InfuSzkoła lecture series (with Midline Academy), CSMI WUM hands-on simulation courses (USG-guided midline insertion), paid webinars, and the nationwide PORT Master TIVAD training cycle across ~9 hospital sites; (3) events — the biennial INFUzja Congress (500 attendees at the inaugural 2024 edition) and the regional Infuzja Lokalnie free conference series; (4) clinical guidelines — official Positions and Recommendations, including a 2026 joint position statement on PICC catheter implantation by Vascular Access Teams; and (5) the Mapa IV Teams registry, an interactive national map tracking hospital vascular access teams. The society holds international affiliations with INS (since October 2023), GloVANet (since March 2025), and AVATAR (since July 2026), and serves as the official Polish distributor of ANTT educational materials translated from ASAP.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid non-profit model: recurring membership subscriptions (175 PLN/year), paid professional training courses (1,200-1,500 PLN for IV Pro and USG/Midline courses, 50 PLN per paid webinar), paid registration and abstract fees for the biennial congress, and project-specific sponsorship from medical device and pharmaceutical companies including Fresenius Kabi, Medica, Vygon, BD, Teleflex, and Dramiński. Distribution is direct-to-member via ptpi.pl, ClickMeeting webinars, and event-based registration, with regional training delivered through hospital partnerships and Regional Chambers of Nurses and Midwives. The customer base is horizontal and fragmented across Polish healthcare professionals and institutions, with no external equity funding disclosed.
