title: Combining nursing roles in dermatology.
abstract: There is an increasing demand for dermatology expertise among patients and community nurses. Combining the role of dermatology nurse practitioner with that of community dermatology liaison nurse allowed dermatology expertise to be provided in both hospital and the community. The aim was to reduce waiting times, provide a nursing alternative to dermatologists and open access for community nurses to specialist expertise.
