The Melanoma & Skin Cancer Advocacy Network (MSCAN) commissioned EvoHealth to develop a Report Connecting Nurses to Nurses: A model for best practice care of skin cancer in Australia.
The Report noted: “A Nurse-to-Nurse model presents and enormous opportunity to improve patient experience and expand and nurture the critical nursing workforce in Australia. It will create a defined career pathway and scope for melanoma and skin cancer nurses, increase access to speciality trained nurses and result in better patient outcomes and reduced burden on the health system”.
One of the core functions recommended as part of Nurse-to-Nurse model is to develop an online platform that is inclusive, flexible and accessible to all nurses working across Australia.
