Purpose
The Cutaneous Lymphoma International Nurses Network (CLINN), supported by the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation, was established in 2022 to connect the international cutaneous lymphoma clinical community so that we can leverage and share skills, knowledge, expertise, best practice, and experience within the treating community.
Mission
The CLINN is dedicated to advancing care for cutaneous lymphomas through collaboration and connection through an international networking platform, resource library, educational webinars, training support, and in-person clinical meetings.
Vision
The CLINN will be the global educational and collaborative resource for nurses, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, and other patient-facing, non-physician clinicians who provide health care, education, and support to people diagnosed with a cutaneous lymphoma. Through these efforts, the quality of care and quality of life for people with cutaneous lymphoma will be positively changed.
