[Clinical pharmacy in a bone marrow and cellular therapy transplantation ward-which methods to put in place: Guidelines from the francophone Society of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy (SFGM-TC)]

Abstract

Since, several years the integration of a clinical pharmacist in medical units led to improve the patients' care in France. In the frame of stem cell engraftment, patients belong to a particularly complex population, notably due to pediatric patients or because the age to engraft adult patients is higher. Moreover, because of many reasons, such as numerous medications intake or long-term immunosuppression, these patients are very fragile and at risk of complications. Since the 6th edition, the JACIE standard gives a definition of the role of clinical pharmacist with its competence area and its place in the medical ward. In the aim to standardize the procedures of stem cell transplantation, this 8th congress of the francophone Society of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy has proposed a collective proposition of the place and the missions of clinical pharmacists in the transplant units.
