Course forming part of the Master's Degree course in Dermatological Nursing

The independent course “Health in the Mirror. Oncology Support Therapies”, inspired by the experimental IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele programme which offers concrete support in managing the side-effects of cancer treatments through a multidisciplinary approach, will be offered within the new University Master's Degree in Clinical Dermatological Nursing.

It lasts a total of 50 hours and provides a total of 5 ECTS-credits. The course is held during the final term of the Master's Degree, from 3 to 7 February 2020.

The course intends to provide participants with the basic knowledge required to perform cosmetic wellbeing treatments on people undergoing cancer therapy. The training includes a theoretical part regarding cancer as a disease, the relative treatments and the most common side-effects, especially with regard to the skin. There is also a practical part which teaches how beauty and wellness care methods, techniques and tools can be adapted to meet the special needs of a cancer patient. Specifically, treatment protocols including lymph-drainage and muscle-relaxing massages, nourishing treatments, corrective make-up and skin care and cleansing will be covered. Special attention will also be focused on the psychological aspects of the relationship with the cancer patient.
