At the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), held in Valencia, Spain, John Murray, a Nurse Clinician at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK, talks about a standalone nurses day meeting focused on a bone marrow transplant consent. This session gives a better understanding of how patients decide on agreeing to undergo the procedure, from both psychologist’s and patient’s point of view. With limited time to ask questions during clinic hours this information gives a valuable insight into patient’s motivations.
