Melanoma Nursing Webinar Program
The Nursing Equity Assessment Tool – utilisation in practice
14 April, 2026, 1-2 pm
This webinar explores the importance of identifying social determinants of health, the impact these can have on the experience and outcomes of people with cancer and how you can use the NEAT in your clinical practice.
The Nursing Equity Assessment Tool (the NEAT) is a checklist used at the point of care to support nurses to quickly and systematically identify people who experience disadvantageous social determinants of health.
Learning outcomes:
- Identify social determinants of health needs that may create barriers or facilitate access to cancer care
- Recognise, and have skills to respond to complex physical and social determinant of health needs identified through use of the NEAT, and use data generated to inform comprehensive, person-centred care planning
Audience: MIA program nurses - live event. Recording to be available to a larger nursing cohort.
