Abstract:

The nursing service is a significant element in the dermatological capacity to respond to skin care and dermatological needs worldwide. Although it is an area of development often neglected by dermatologists, it is one that is undergoing rapid and substantial evolution. This paper outlines the initiatives undertaken by nurses to enhance their contribution, and examines the development of nursing within the dermatology field. It argues for the need to develop a service delivery model in dermatology care that utilizes specialist-nursing expertise to cascade dermatological knowledge and skill through primary care. The paper summarizes the strategic importance of nursing in dermatology care delivery, whether in resource-rich or -poor countries, and its unmet potential in the capacity to benefit and meet skin care and dermatological care needs. The paper specifically focuses on the development work led by the International Skin Care Nursing Group (ISNG) to stimulate and develop the capacity of nursing to respond to these widespread needs through promoting service delivery models that operate interdependently with dermatologist-led care. © 2011 The International Society of Dermatology.
