This article reports the results of an educational project, which included a needs assessment survey and the development of a malignant cutaneous wound educational programme. As there is little information on the differences between the management of malignant cutaneous wounds in the hospice and oncology settings, a survey was undertaken to identify differences encountered by hospice and oncology nurses. This needs assessment survey also included enterostomal/wound-ostomy-continence (ET/WOC) nurses who serve as wound care consultants in oncology and hospice settings. The 12-question survey addressed the frequency of wounds, symptoms, and psychosocial issues encountered. The education programmes was individualized to the setting by determining the differences between the nurses' roles based partially on the survey information. One interesting survey finding was that many of the nurses were using the internet to obtain answers for wound management questions; therefore, a future implication of this project is the need to develop an online malignant cutaneous wound educational programme for nurses.
