GPs play a critical role in the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem in Australia.  

A large public health campaign promoting cervical screening, including the option of HPV self-collection, will be released in September this year. An increasing number of patients are expected to present to general practices requesting self-collection, or more information about the test. 

This webinar will equip GPs and practice teams with the tools to effectively support patients to make an informed choice about this screening method, and to better engage those who are reluctant to screen. 

We’ll address management options for abnormal self-collection results and provide information on upcoming changes to the National Cervical Screening Program clinical guidelines, to make sure you have the very latest information. We will include practical information and tips to ensure practices are on track to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem.

Hear from Telstra Health, National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) on the benefits of integrating your clinical software with the NCSR and how to get connected.
