A philosophy for the Skin and Cancer Foundation

The Skin and Cancer Foundation is now 21 years old in Sydney and 10 years old in Melbourne, and a third is being planned for Brisbane. The achievements of these institutions are quite remarkable but the philosophy on which they were based may not now be applicable. An understanding of this original philosophy may assist future planning. People suffering from skin disease in Australia need help which can only be delivered by a combination of several institutions such as government, hospitals and the Australasian College of Dermatologists (College).
