What is therapeutic education?
Therapeutic education is a humanist approach centered round awareness-raising, information, self-care, and psychological and social support during the different stages of treatment. Recommendations about the most appropriate strategies to adopt vary according to the nature of the disease and its treatment. Therapeutic education is designed to help patients and their families understand the disease and its treatment, work with caregivers, adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain or improve their quality of life.

Therapeutic education for cancer patients in Occitanie
The Transversal Unit for Therapeutic Cancer Patient Education (UTEP) was set up in August 2018 under the auspices of the Occitanie Regional Health Agency (ARS). Its mission is to develop therapeutic education for cancer patients in the region.
UTEP provides advice and training on helping patients with chronic diseases enjoy a better quality of life. Its services are aimed at private practitioners, practitioners in healthcare establishments and volunteers involved in setting up therapeutic education activities.
UTEP brings together healthcare professionals from many different fields (physicians, pharmacists, dieticians, physiotherapists, etc.). Like all other healthcare techniques, providing therapeutic patient education requires specialist skills, which caregivers are taught through structured training courses.
