Equity in cervical screening webinar

Posted Tuesday 16 July 2024 | RACGP

Healthcare providers are invited to attend a webinar on best practice cervical screening for people with disability.

The RACGP, in partnership with the Daffodil Centre and the Centre for Disability Studies, is presenting a webinar on Optimising cervical screening for people with disability – supporting equity in your practice.

This session is presented by cervical screening experts Prof Deborah Bateson and Dr Lara Roeske, with personal insights from Tricia Malowney, a disability advocate who has post-polio syndrome.

The webinar will:

• explore cervical screening barriers
• discuss strategies and techniques to support cervical screening for patients with disability, including those with intellectual or cognitive disability
• equip you with a range of tools and resources that can be built into your practice to engage with this community and improve their participation in the NCSP.

Continuing professional development (CPD) points are available for healthcare providers who attend this webinar.

A recording of the webinar will be made available on the NCSP Healthcare Provider Toolkit.

This project is supported by funding provided by the Australian Government.
