NATIONAL LUNG CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM HEALTH WORKFORCE EDUCATION
Date: Tuesday, April 15, 2025
Time: 18:00 to 19:30
Are you ready for National Lung Cancer Screening?
In Australia, lung cancer is the fifth most common cancer diagnosed and the leading cause of cancer death. Up to 70% of lung cancers can be detected at early stages through screening. Prepare for the National Lung Cancer Screening Program commencing from July 2025.
Led by the Australian Government, in partnership with the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, this program is designed to be equity-focused, culturally safe, and person-centered.
Healthcare professionals play a central and critical role in the National Lung Cancer Screening Program by increasing understanding of, and participation in, the program. To help you prepare, the Australian Government and Lung Foundation Australia are hosting a free, CPD accredited webinar featuring an expert panel on how to integrate lung cancer screening into your daily practice. Join to learn about the program’s objectives, your role in supporting patient participation, and practical strategies to implement the program in your practice or health service.
Register for the webinar to gain 1.5 CPD points and ensure your health service is prepared for the launch of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program. The webinar will also be available on-demand to watch at your convenience.
This eLearning is accredited with Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association, National Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners, and Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine.
