For a number of years, the Centre has provided education about treatments to patients. The Interdisciplinary Therapeutic Patient Education Unit (UTEP) [Unité Transversale d’Education Thérapeutique] was established to, among other things, coordinate the Centre’s numerous therapeutic patient education programmes. Many medical and paramedical professionals are trained in Therapeutic Patient Education.
To better support you during your illness and treatment, your care team may offer you the chance to attend a therapy education programme.
To provide you with a better understanding of your illness and your treatment and to help you play an active role in your care, maintain your autonomy and preserve your quality of life.
