Abstract

An innovative scheme has been operational since 2013 at the Institut Claudius Regaud in Toulouse, aimed at patients undergoing chemotherapy. After an initial consultation, patients receive regular telephone support at home from expert nurses between treatments. The scheme helps to improve patient management and reinforce the community-hospital link.
