The National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation will host a webinar on Wednesday, 14 August from 2pm to 3pm for staff from Aboriginal community health services (ACCHO and AMS) about cervical screening self-collection for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people.
Others who work with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander patients can also attend.
The self-collection method and discussing screening in a culturally sensitive manner, can help overcome certain barriers to cervical screening participation which are experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and people with a cervix.
Webinar presenters include executive director at the Australian Centre for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer Professor Marion Saville, and ACCHO sector representatives who will discuss how self-collection is being implemented in their community.
RACGP and ACRRM CPD points will be available for this training. A link to the webinar recording will be sent following the training date to those who register.
Training will be delivered in partnership with the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care and the Australian Centre for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer.
