Abstract:
An autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant service is now available on an outpatient basis for haematology patients in one trust. The nurse-led service provides patients with the benefits of being at home with their families, which improves their quality of life during treatment that often has unpleasant side-effects. The service also brings benefits for the trust.
