‘Kemo to-go’ – med mobil kemobehandling modtager leukæmipatienter højintensiv kemobehandling i hjemmet.
By creating a portable digital pump and designing a backsack, the nurses made it possible for the patients to receive a high intensive chemotherapy treatment at home, without any staff being deployed to the patient’s home.
Patients are able to keep up with usual pastime routines, physical training, attending school and avoid risks of acquiring infections at the hospital.
The patients are able to stay at home for up to 3 days before coming to the clinic for a new supply of chemotherapy and a check-up.

Patient Education
No insulin pump without specialized nursing
Ongin insulinpumpa uttan serkøna sjúkrarøkt
On the Faroe Islands about 30% of the type 1 diabetes patients are treated with an insulin pump.
The treatment starts with a 2 day’s course of doctors, nurses and relatives that includes functionality of the pump, blood glucose monitoring and carbohydrate counting. A specialist nurse has the holistic responsibility for all contact to patients and their relationships. E.g. teaching in kindergardens and schools. The patient has the possibility for 24 hours contact with the healthcare team.
