RESUMEN
The advanced practice nurse (APN) has been introduced in France, following the 2016 health law and implementing decrees published in 2018. In this context, the French Society for Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) has already issued guidelines regarding the allocation of APNs' new clinical competences and their collaboration with physicians. It is now providing new recommendations on the transversal activities that can be fulfilled by APNs, such as research, leadership, training and teaching. Additionally, the guidelines outline how APNs can cooperate with other professionals in departments of haematology and cellular therapy, including nurses, coordinators and health managers.
RESUMEN
Like the "nurse practitioner" in Anglo-Saxon countries, the French health authority validated on January 2016 the creation of an intermediate grade called advanced practice nurse (APN). They are authorized to carry out an assessment of the person's state of health, through a complete clinical examination. They can also prescribe additional examinations necessary for the monitoring of the pathology, and carry out certain acts for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. Given the specificities of cellular therapy patients, the content of university professional training doesn't seem sufficient to assure an optimal management by the APN of these patients. The Francophone society of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy (SFGM-TC) had already published two works regarding what was initially called "the transfer of skills" between doctors and nurses in the follow-up of transplant patients. In the same way, this workshop attempts to address the question of the place of APNs in the management of patients undergoing cellular therapy treatment. Beyond a delegation of tasks as proposed by the cooperation protocols, this workshop produces recommendations to allow an autonomous activity of the IPA in the follow-up of these patients, in close collaboration with the medical team.

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.

From the diagnosis of leukaemia and throughout the complex care pathway in paediatric oncology, nurses support the child and the parents, notably as part of the cross-disciplinary support care provided. They play a pivotal role within the multidisciplinary team and favour a personalised treatment helping the child-parent dyad cope better with the disease.
