Delivering intravesical therapy for patients with NMIBC requires careful coordination between nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, and pharmacy teams. High-volume clinics may treat dozens of patients in a single session, making streamlined scheduling, clear communication, and defined staff roles essential to maintaining efficient workflow. The discussion also highlights how consolidating treatments into dedicated clinic days can reduce disruptions to routine practice while improving continuity of care for patients. For nurses and APPs entering this space, building strong catheterization skills, leveraging educational resources, and embracing team-based learning are key to successfully managing intravesical therapy programs.
