What is the group?
Nursing plays a crucial and multifaceted role in the comprehensive management of skin cancer, and New Zealand nurses have an increasingly active role in the prevention, detection and management of this disease.
By fostering collaboration among nurses specialising in skin cancer care, we can make significant strides to alleviate the burden of this disease and enhance the overall health outcomes for affected individuals.
This Special Interest Group will connect like-minded nurses across the country with the aim of:
- fostering effective networking and collaboration for nurses working in skin cancer
- growing the number of nurses working in skin cancer
- developing, supporting and facilitating the ongoing professional development of nurses working in skin cancer
- providing a platform for discussion and collaboration on specific topics as they relate to nursing and skin cancer
- promoting the exchange of knowledge and best practice amongst skin cancer nurses
- fostering strategic relationships with other professional organisations and stakeholders involved in skin cancer care
