EBMT 2019
Patient Family & Donor Day
Transplantation can be a challenging experience for patients, and managing the patient's journey is a central part of the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation team's role. Recognising that, today's EBMT Patient Family Donor Day is a key part of the EBMT meeting. In its second year as an independently run group within EBMT, Bregje Verhoeven, EBMT Patient Family Donor Committee Chair talks us through why today is important, and what physicians and clinical staff can learn from patients and donors. We also talk to Jan Geissler, founder of Leukemia Patient Advocates Foundation, as well as patient and donor from across Europe who met after a successful last minute transplant - Jacqueline Harfmann (Donor) and Mark Ritson (Receiver)
