The Institute is preparing a Certificate course in Skin Diseases for Nurses. It will cover all the common skin diseases presenting to a Nurse emphasising the early stages of the conditions. The course will equip the nurse with some simple mnemonic based tools to accurately diagnose skin disease and concentrate on treatments available across the counter. It will be delivered by a series of online modules and weekly video webinars divided into 4 Streams. These are
1. General Dermatology
2. Skin Cancer
3. Treatment of skin disease
4. Cosmetic
There will also be a very Practical Weekend Meeting at the John Flynn Hospital on the Gold Coast to show the practical elements of the course including photothertapy, PDT and Skin biopsy and suturing. Details can be seen in the Posts section opposite.
The Streams can be taken individually. They are delivered online through a dedicated website www.dermnurseconsult.com You have to have completed 2 separate streams to be eligible to attend the Weekend Meeting. You can start a Stream at any time. The Weekend Meeting will be held twice a year.
Participants in each of the Streams will also be able to submit cases to a Virtual Clinical Meeting site where they will be commented on by a Consultant Dermatologist and experienced GP Diplomates of the Australian Institute of Dermatology and practicing Specialist Nurses. They will also be invited to attend the monthly Alumni webinars for Graduates of the Australian Dermatology Diploma Course.
