Breast Screen Misconceptions

Today we look at BreastScreen Queensland and common patient misconceptions about breast screening. The aim of this podcast is for general practitioners (GPs) to be aware of these misconceptions but also feel empowered to address them with patients and ultimately improve their patient's confidence in breast screening. This episode is part of a greater education package called "Cancer Screening Education for General Practitioners". This fully funded online education is a one-stop shop of resources, tools, and up-to-date information to support Australian GPs in their critical role of encouraging participation in these life saving programs. The online course is an ACRRM and RACGP accredited activity for the 2020-2022 Triennium. To register, go to: https://bit.ly/2CnojoV.
