Melanoma Education Nurse

The Melanoma Foundation's education nurse is here to help you interpret information and clarify understanding about melanoma. Your best source of information  about your own situation must always be your own clinical team. Our nurse cannot provide clinical advice, but she will be happy to listen to you and explain terminology or concepts. She may also be available to speak to groups by arrangement. It is thanks to sponsorship from Roche Products NZ that we are able to provide this service free of charge.
