Lifting the lid on participation: conducting effective audits to improve National Bowel Cancer Screening Program uptake | Bendigo

Hosted by GPEx with funding from the Australian Government – Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

General practitioners, practice staff and Aboriginal healthcare workers play a vital role in promoting the importance of early detection of bowel cancer by encouraging and endorsing participation in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. This practical workshop explores bowel cancer screening in people who are hesitant to screen. You will engage in case discussions to explore the barriers to screening and some of the enablers that you or a practice team can implement to encourage screening within your practice. Get your team started on an audit for bowel cancer screening within your clinic and identify practice improvements. Planning an audit is often the most challenging step – this workshop will help break it down and provide tools to get you started to ensure success.

Learning outcomes:

• Identify practices that support engaging patients in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program
• Determine system improvements within practices to improve patient engagement with the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program
• Identify and apply Practitioner and Practice Toolkit Resources that support mini-audit activities
