Aims To

  • Provide a forum for the support of research, the sharing of knowledge, and the dissemination of developments in the practice of dermatology nursing.
  • Provide educational support for nurses in developing their dermatology practice.
  • Promote evidenced based practice in the delivery of dermatological nursing care.
  • Elevate the national and international status of Irish dermatology nurses
  • Foster communication and establish links with national and international dermatology professional organisations and charities.

In promoting the development of dermatology nursing practice in Ireland we are seeking to provide expert care to our patients. 

History

In October 2001 a group of senior dermatology nurses from the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland met at the City of Dublin Skin and Cancer Hospital, Hume St to discuss the feasibility of establishing a dermatology nursing organisation.  The Irish Association of Dermatologists had offered to share meeting venues should a group be formed. In April 2002 the IDNA held its first meeting at the  Faithlegg Hotel in Waterford. In 2008 the IDNA was established as a limited company.
