Points to consider for patient education provided by nurses on methotrexate use. A European consensus initiative.
A set of PtC has been developed to improve the quality of care provided to patients with IRDs and their carers regarding the education and support nurses should provide on MTX use. The ultimate goal is to optimize MTX intake, improve efficacy, reduce side effects and ensure adherence to treatment. A plan is underway for the European implementation of these PtC, recognizing the crucial relevance of multi-professional rheumatology teamwork.
