EBMT 2016 | Good nursing care is the key to veno-occlusive disease (VOD) management

At the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), held in Valencia, Spain, John Murray, a Nurse Clinician at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK, discusses the role of a good nursing care in the veno-occlusive disease (VOD) management.
