National Lung Cancer Screening Program Launch Webinar - 01/01/2026 - 29/12/2028
Date: 01/01/2026 Location: Other
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related illness and death in Australia. However, with early detection, up to 70% of lung cancers can be diagnosed at an earlier, more treatable stage.In the 2023-24 Federal Budget, funding was provided for a new National Lung Cancer Screening Program. The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is designed to reduce lung cancer-related illness and death by encouraging high-risk individuals to take part in targeted routine screening.The program is an Australian Government initiative implemented by the Department of Health and Aged Care in partnership with Cancer Australia and the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation.The program has been co-designed in partnership with communities and the healthcare workforce to be person-centred, equity-focused, accessible, and culturally safe. It is co-designed to improve lung cancer outcomes for those disproportionately impacted by lung cancer including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. Hear from our expert panel for an exclusive webinar hosted by Lung Foundation Australia on how to successfully integrate lung cancer screening into your everyday practice.Ask our expert panel your questions at registration or live during the Qandamp;A session! The session will be available on-demand from the following day, please register now for access to the recording.

A Stepwise Approach to Managing COPD to Prevent Exacerbations - 01/01/2026 - 29/12/2028
Date: 01/01/2026 Location: Other
The COPD Education package provides valuable resources and training to support the earlier diagnosis and treatment of exacerbations of COPD. By adopting updated strategies and focusing on patient-centred care, GPs can make a significant impact on the lives of individuals with COPD. Embracing these changes not only improves patient outcomes but also helps alleviate the broader burden on the healthcare system.COPD is Often misdiagnosed, with symptoms like breathlessness and persistent coughing it issometimes mistaken for signs of aging or other conditions such as asthma. This misperception can delay diagnosis and effective management, leading to preventable exacerbations and hospitalisations. Recent advancements in understanding COPD emphasise the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of exacerbations to improve patient outcomes, delay COPD progression, and reduce hospitalisations.

Diagnosis of Breathlessness in Primary Care - 01/01/2026 - 29/12/2028
Date: 01/01/2026 Location: Other
Many factors contributing to chronic breathlessness are treatable and preventable. However, misdiagnosis or incorrect attribution of the cause can lead to poor symptom control, overuse of medications, and excessive costs to both the individual and the healthcare system [6]. Early identification of the underlying cause is crucial as it allows for timely investigation and intervention. This approach can prevent disease progression and reduce hospitalisations, and enables GPs to implement appropriate treatments and lifestyle modifications, tailored to improve patient prognosis and quality of life. Missed and misdiagnosis of chronic breathlessness can have serious consequences, including inappropriate or delayed testing or treatment, due to the multifactorial nature of the symptom, the limitations of diagnostic tests in pinpointing a single cause, and variations in how patients describe their symptoms [12]. Clinical algorithms play a vital role in addressing these challenges, with one review suggesting that simple tests can help diagnose most patients presenting with chronic breathlessness [6]. Therefore, early identification and accurate diagnosis of chronic breathlessness is essential for effective management and better patient outcomes, and it is important general practitioners and members of their practice teams be skilled in the detection and diagnosis of breathlessness.
