Summary
This paper describes the development of a new healthcare model to address the detection and prevention of cervical cancer for Aboriginal women in a regional centre in NSW that serves women from a wide catchment area. It examines the use of a nurse practitioner-led model in an outreach context and also as a way of reducing barriers to access for a service. The paper demonstrates how the strength of healthcare partnerships can be the foundation upon which significant barriers in accessing services are addressed.
