Cancer screening and prevention in general practice

Join us to hear from a panel of experts from the cervical, breast and bowel cancer screening programs and the National Cancer Screening Register as they discuss the latest updates and best practices.

Cancer screening can save lives and practice nurses can play an important role in early detection and prevention. Educating and encouraging patients to take part in the cancer screening programs can help them reduce their risk and improve health outcomes.

This webinar will assist practice nurses by covering the following topics:

  • Cervical self-collection and who is eligible.
  • Breast cancer screening in clinics and the mobile service.
  • The alternative access model for bowel screening testing kits.
  • The National Cancer Screening Register and integrating it into practices.

Guest speakers:
