Shame & disbelief in midst of #primarycare crisis. @APNAnurses workforce survey shows 33% #nurses skills underutilized. This NP's skills undervalued by health funders, highly valued by the community @acnp @anmf @CRANAplus @WAGovernment @Mark_Butler_MP https://t.co/by9EwWTjEf

So proud of our @KarenvanGorp sharing her personal story & sharing awareness of the need for more support for melanoma patients at Parliament House today #melanomapatientsaustralia

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

"I was the only survivor of my support group," Karen said today about her experience with melanoma.

Tragically, melanoma kills one Australian every six hours.

We can do so much better than that. That's why we're investing to establish the National Melanoma Nurse program.

[Melanoma Australia @melanomasupport]

A very powerful video from Cancer Institute NSW as part of the Protect Your Skin campaign.
