· Support the development and review of patient information resources, clinic handouts and educational materials that support health literacy and informed decision-making.

· Support the planning and delivery of clinic awareness campaigns, education sessions and community health promotion activities.

· Work collaboratively with doctors, nurses, clinic staff and other relevant health professionals to reinforce consistent prevention and early-detection messages.

· Identify opportunities to improve patient engagement with skin checks, follow-up care and preventative health initiatives.

· Assist with local community outreach and relationships with relevant organisations, groups and healthcare providers to raise awareness of the skin cancer prevention and screening services we offer.
