Thank you for stopping by my homepage. My name is Dr Kim Gibson, and I am a Research Fellow with the Rosemary Bryant AO Research Centre. I lead the project Nurses Leading Skin Health, an initiative to train and educate primary care nurses working in regional South Australia to perform skin checks using best practice dermoscopy. To further enhance subject matter expertise, I completed formal training in dermoscopy and now practice as a Nurse Dermoscopist. I coordinate the Professional Certificate in Dermoscopy at UniSA and I am committed to help support primary care nurses to gain the knowledge and skills in the early detection of skin cancer. Nurses working in regional SA gain essential practical experience at "pop-up" skin check clinics at large community events where consumers receive a free and convenient skin check. As part of this project, we undertake research to evaluate the skin cancer risk of people living in regional areas, their sun protection behaviours, and how they experience a nurse-led model of care for skin cancer screening. Building on our project's success, our national expansion, the 600 Nurses Project, aims to train 600 nurses in dermoscopy across Australia, addressing critical workforce gaps and improving access to skin cancer screening for regional and rural Australians.
