4P medicine (personalized, preventive, predictive, and participatory) is experiencing a remarkable rise, and pharmacogenetics is an essential part of it. However, several obstacles are hindering its deployment. This round table brought together a group of experts to take stock of the situation, reflecting on ways to facilitate the prescription of these tests and the dissemination of the results on a national scale. The experts looked at the methods of prescribing and communicating pharmacogenetic data in the current situation as well as in the coming years, with the arrival of artificial intelligence software. The questions relating to the reimbursement of tests - as topical as ever - were also discussed, as this is a way to allow all patients to access these tests. Numerous recommendations have been formulated on these various points, aimed at facilitating prescription management for healthcare professionals, and ensuring the retention and use of the results throughout the patient's life. Finally, better patient information was recommended, as well as strengthening the involvement of healthcare professionals and industry stakeholders in this process, with insistence on the necessary training and commitment to ensure its success.

Migration of highly skilled nurses results in increased workload for the remaining nursing staff, limited access to quality healthcare services, and contributes to disparities in healthcare. Therefore, nursing students represent a critical demographic group for understanding the drivers of brain drain in the healthcare sector.

Hematology patients require central venous catheters for cancer treatment and nutrition, which increases their risk of intravascular device-associated bacteremia. In the absence of recent data, we investigated intravascular device-associated bacteremia in this specific context. A three-month surveillance was conducted annually in 27 hematology wards, using a protocol derived from the HAI-Net ICU ECDC protocol (2020-2024).
