SUMMARY:Breast density - what does it mean for GPs and their patients?
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nMammographic breast density can be a challenge for general practitioners (GPs) and their patients. High mammographic breast density lowers the sensitivity of breast cancer screening; thereby increasing the risk of an interval cancer between screening episodes\, and moderately increases breast cancer risk. Breast Screen WA is the only Australian state screening program to notify women and their GP when a mammogram shows marked increased breast density (and have been doing so for over 10 years). Women are advised in writing to consult their GP to discuss the significance of their breast density\, to have a clinical examination and receive further advice about their breast cancer risk. \nAt this webinar\, Associate Professor Jennifer Stone will discuss the significance of breast density\, its occurrence\, how to discuss the implications of increased breast density with patients\, and the way forward. \nLearning outcomes\nDiscuss the implications of increased breast density with patients\nDescribe how breast density influences breast cancer risk and\nmammographic sensitivity\nState the supplemental screening recommendations indicated for\npatients with increased breast density\nRecall the ongoing breast density research in Australia \nPresenter\nAssociate Professor Jennifer Stone\, Epidemiologist & Senior ResearchFellow\, University of Western Australia \nRegister HERE. \nDate: Tuesday\, 25 October 2022\nTime: 7.00pm – 8.00pm\nTarget Audience: GPs\, Practice Nurses\nMode of delivery: Zoom. On the morning of the webinar an email will be sent to registered attendees which will contain a link to join the webinar.

SUMMARY:Getting to the bottom of colonoscopy use in bowel screening
DESCRIPTION:This is a free webinar and CPD opportunity for all general practice health professionals. \nEncouragement and support by GPs and practice nurses\, can have significant impact on improving participation in bowel cancer screening; evidence shows that a recommendation by a trusted health professional is a key motivator to participate. General practice health professionals have several important roles in the NBCSP\, including encouraging and supporting participation\, managing participants who have a positive FOBT\, providing information about referrals to the NBCSP\, and managing individuals who\, by way of symptom(s) or significant family history\, require diagnostic investigations or targeted surveillance rather than screening. \nIn this three-part webinar series\, an array of experts from across Australia will present on various topics related to bowel cancer screening\, including the latest research on those who do not screen and why; the National Bowel Cancer Screening program; and the importance of the appropriate use of colonoscopy . Part three\, Gastroenterologist Dr Hooi Ee will discuss the appropriate use of colonoscopies including when to start and stop surveillance for patients; how to communicate the benefits and risk to patients\, and when to refer a patient back to the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program after a colonoscopy. \nOn the morning of Tuesday 6 September an email will be sent to registered attendees which will contain a link to join the webinar. You will be able to join the webinar by clicking the link. Please note time the webinar will start at 6.00pm AWST\, 7.30pm ACST\, and 8.00pm AEST. \n5 minutes – Welcome and introductions \n40 minutes – Presentations \n\nDr Hooi Ee – Gastroenterologist & Head of Department\, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital\n\n15 minutes – Questions & discussion \n  \nLearning outcomes \n\nRecall how to communicate with patients the harm-to-benefit ratio of using colonoscopy for screening in average-risk populations\nDescribe the appropriate use of surveillance colonoscopies including when they should be initiated and ceased.\nIdentify when a patient who has had a colonoscopy can be referred back to the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program\n\n\nThis activity is pending accreditation under ACRRM PDP\, and the RACGP CPD Program – Activity ID: 362240 \nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Bowel cancer screening – from the GP perspective
DESCRIPTION:This is a free webinar and CPD opportunity for all general practice health professionals. \nEncouragement and support by GPs and practice nurses\, can have significant impact on improving participation in bowel cancer screening; evidence shows that a recommendation by a trusted health professional is a key motivator to participate. General practice health professionals have several important roles in the NBCSP\, including encouraging and supporting participation\, managing participants who have a positive FOBT\, providing information about referrals to the NBCSP\, and managing individuals who\, by way of symptom(s) or significant family history\, require diagnostic investigations or targeted surveillance rather than screening. \nIn this three-part webinar series\, an array of experts from across Australia will present on various topics related to bowel cancer screening\, including the latest research on those who do not screen and why; the National Bowel Cancer Screening program; and the importance of the appropriate use of colonoscopy . Part two will address the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program\, including the efficacy of the FOBT in average risk populations\, advice on answering questions around age eligibility and appropriate management of patients with a family history of bowel cancer; and case studies addressing challenging patients’ cases and how they can be managed. \nOn the morning of Wednesday 31 August an email will be sent to registered attendees which will contain a link to join the webinar. You will be able to join the webinar by clicking the link. Please note time the webinar will start at 6.00pm AWST\, 7.30pm ACST\, and 8.00pm AEST. \n5 minutes – Welcome and introductions \n40 minutes – Presentations \n\nProfessor Jon Emery- General Practitioner & Herman Professor of Primary Care Cancer Research\, University of Melbourne\nProfessor Mark Jenkins – Epidemiologist & Director of the Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics\, University of Melbourne.\n\n15 minutes – Questions & discussion \n  \nLearning outcomes \n\nState the efficacy of the iFOBT as a tool for screening average risk population\nSummarise the current screening strategies for people with a family history of bowel cancer\nDescribe the appropriate management of the difficult patient cases presented\n\nThis activity is pending accreditation under ACRRM PDP\, and the RACGP CPD Program – Activity ID: 362240 \nRegister HERE.
