Workshop on CD34+ Enumeration for SCT
The haematopoietic stem cell content of the graft remains a critical factor for the success of transplantation. Several guidelines have been published. A workshop on the topic will be held at the forthcoming SASCeTS conference in Cape Town.
Venue: President Hotel, Sea Point
Date & Time: 12 February at 12.00-13.00
Nurses involved in bone marrow transplantation from around the county will have the opportunity to come together in representation of their interests and to develop a support structure. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the possibility of creating a sub-committee in the Society. This will lead to greater dissemination of professional activities and will help in unifying management of patients undergoing transplantation.
Venue: President Hotel, Sea Point (Room to be announced)
Date & Time: 13 February at 8:30-10:45am
Co-ordinated by: Sr Rowan Robinson
Programme:
Welcome Overview of Haematology Nursing in South Africa Nursing Introduction Available Options Vote The Way Forward Closure
Guidelines for accreditation of transplant centres
Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a very complex therapeutic strategy that requires physicians and nurses with high levels of skill and experience, stem cell collection facilities and substantial manipulation of stem cells before infusion. To optimise clinical outcomes JACIE has set up certain guidelines and recommended that centres should pursue accreditation. in South Africa such requirements have not been necessary, however, recently some medical aid companies have also insisted that stem cell transplantation is only funded in accredited centres. In order to facilitate such a process the SASCeTS Exco have produced a draft set of guidelines as a discussion document. Please ensure that you are familiar with the document that will be discussed at the AGM.
