Cellular Therapies
This unit of study examines current and emerging cellular therapies. It provides students with an overview of the immune system, bone marrow function, cell sources and preparation for transplantation, before more explicitly exploring the short- and long-term care requirements of individuals receiving autologous, allogeneic and Chimeric antigen receptor T- cells (CAR-T) therapies. Legal and ethical considerations and the psychological impacts of treatment are explored. Students are encouraged to apply theory to practice and develop their ability to think critically and provide holistic, person-centred care.
Students applying for this elective must be delivering care to people receiving cellular therapies.
