Education needs for nurses in adult and paediatric units

Abstract

Complex nursing care for patients on the CAR-T cell therapy pathway involves many different nursing roles that have important functions at different stages in the pathway. Within the multiprofessional team, nurse education is critical to safe and competent care and to the patient's treatment experience. As we consider the education needs of the nursing workforce throughout the entire patient pathway, including the supply chain, chain of custody, and clinical care delivery, we recognize the important roles of expert nurses, practice educators, and the wider multiprofessional team in sharing their knowledge and experience. Nurse education strategies should include referring nursing teams to facilitate seamless patient care throughout referral, treatment, and follow-up to optimize communication and appropriately meet patient and caregiver information needs.
