Celebrating the 5th anniversary of the Skin and Melanoma Centre:
providing the best care

In the spring of 2010, the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Skin and Melanoma Centre was established, optimizing care for patients with skin tumors in a multidisciplinary setting. Here dermatologists, surgeons, head and neck surgeons, internal medicine physicians, radiologists, radiotherapists, pathologists, and nurse practitioners all work in close collaboration in so-called ‘care streets’ with patients’ appointments at the various specialties bundled all in one day, so as to facilitate quick and easy interdisciplinary consultations. Patients are discussed in weekly multidisciplinary meetings, and special multidisciplinary care pathways, guidelines, protocols, and patient information forms have been implemented. Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital was the first institute in the Netherlands to initiate such centre.

Now, five years later, we are looking back on a dynamic period of change. Medical care for patients with skin tumors has become more structurized, more efficient and more patient-friendly, and collaboration between the specialties involved in skin cancer care has improved considerably. Rather than functioning as separate sources of knowledge, specialists now work as a team, joining forces to provide efficient, patient-friendly and effective patient care. During this lunch seminar, we would like to share our experience with you.

Please note: only participants that have registered for the lunch seminar can attend.
