Fast Facts: Dermatological Nursing : A Practical Guide on Career Pathways / [electronic resource] editors, Rebecca Penzer-Hick, Sarah Copperwheat, Lucy Moorhead, Saskia Reeken, Melanie Sutherland, Julia Wheeler, Heulwen Wyatt - 1 online resource (150 pages) : 11 figures, 11 in color, 26 tables

Providing dermatology care to the large number of people with skin disease requires a workforce that is appropriately trained and competent to meet patients' needs safely and effectively. Nurses form a critical part of the team that provides that care and they are increasingly developing new skills and approaches that complement the skills of the other healthcare professionals they work with. Here, we aim to provide practical guidance for developing these more advanced roles, with signposting to additional resources. After reading this Fast Facts resource, dermatology nurses will:• be aware of a variety of career pathways in subspecialist dermatology fields • have a clear understanding of the clinical skills required in these areas • know how to proceed with their training.
