ABSTRACT

The number of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is in constant rise. This increase has put in spotlight the lack of physician availability. Some healthcare centers have already organised a nurse's consultation under the supervision of an expert physician. We conducted a survey among nurses and physicians from the French Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cell Therapy (SFGM-TC) centers who confirmed the need to create a special transplantation-skilled population of nurses. During this ninth annual workshop of the SFGM-TC, we have defined the required conditions for a transplant nurse consultation until day 100 post-transplant with the responsibility of the transplant expert physician. To help the centers in this dynamic, we provided practical tools to support this consultation. The current heath policy is in favor of an increased autonomy of the expert nurse. The implementation of the status of nurse in advanced practice is the first step in this professional development.
