[Clinical and transversal competencies of advanced practice nurses (APNs) within a cellular therapy team (SFGM-TC)].

The advanced practice nurse (APN) has been introduced in France, following the 2016 health law and implementing decrees published in 2018. In this context, the French Society for Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) has already issued guidelines regarding the allocation of APNs' new clinical competences and their collaboration with physicians. It is now providing new recommendations on the transversal activities that can be fulfilled by APNs, such as research, leadership, training and teaching.

Like the "nurse practitioner" in Anglo-Saxon countries, the French health authority validated on January 2016 the creation of an intermediate grade called advanced practice nurse (APN). They are authorized to carry out an assessment of the person's state of health, through a complete clinical examination. They can also prescribe additional examinations necessary for the monitoring of the pathology, and carry out certain acts for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes.
