History

Dermatology nursing in Singapore started in early 70’s from the old Middle Road Hospital. Over the years, dermatology nursing had evolved into many subspecialties such as Phototherapy, Aesthetic, Immunology and Venereology.

 

Dermatology Nursing Chapter was formed with the hope of providing a platform for nurses to share their expertise and to provide peer support. Professional activities include continuing education and training, collaboration of forums with national and international nursing organizations; and interdisciplinary societies to synergise in standard of care and delivery for our patients. Last but not the least, to promote and raise the awareness of dermatology nursing as a specialty nursing practice among health care professionals and the public.

 

The inauguration of the Dermatology Nurses Chapter was held in August 2011, at SNA House.

 

The committee look forward to creating more awareness of dermatology care and increase the standard of nursing care for people with dermatological conditions.
