MODULE 1

• Introduction

  In this lecture, Julie Guest examines the impact of immunomodulation therapy through Extracorporeal Photopheresis (ECP). The presentation is structured around the dialogues that apheresis teams engage in with patients and their families, addressing the procedure, potential complications, and scheduling during initial consultations. The primary objective of this lecture is to enhance awareness of the effects of this treatment on patients' lived experiences. Additionally, it aims to promote a holistic approach to managing complex treatment-related complications that significantly affect the quality of life for patients and their families.

  The lecture also highlights the increased trauma experienced by patients following transplantation, particularly when facing complications such as graft-versus-host disease and graft rejection. The complexity of subsequent treatments can profoundly impact the well-being and adjustment of both patients and their families. Therefore, it is crucial for practitioners to gain insight into this journey to better support their patients.
