The TTP specialist nurse: an advocate for patients and professionals.
British Journal of Nursing : BJN 2024 March 22
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare and life-threatening blood disorder with a mortality rate of over 90% if left untreated, multiple long-term complications for survivors, and a lifelong risk of relapse. There is a valuable role for the clinical nurse specialist in both the acute and long-term care of patients with TTP. Historically part of the team caring for patients with TTP, specialist nurses have played a vital role in co-ordinating and facilitating treatment for patients, promoting patient advocacy, supporting continuous service improvement, and delivering education to the wider clinical team to disseminate best practice. In 2021, the TTP specialist nurse role was commissioned within the NHS England National Service Framework for TTP Specialist Centres. This article aims to appraise the role of the TTP specialist nurse and share the multidimensional reach of the role in achieving better outcomes for patients with TTP.
