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.

The Systematic Approach to Investigating Symptoms of Lung Cancer Health Professional Training will support GPs in their application of Cancer Australia's ISLC Guide in practice. The training enables virtual application of the Guide in a scenario-based setting. Following a robust introduction to the Guide, its history and supporting evidence, learners will be introduced to four simulated case studies. As the learner meets each patient, they will discuss their symptoms, medical and social histories, then determine any signs of lung cancer through simulated physical examinations. Evidence gathered from each consultation will inform learners' next steps in applying the guide to either a) seek further information from the patient b) refer for investigations or c) refer to a lung cancer specialist and MDT or an Emergency Department.

Pain is one of the earliest and most debilitating symptoms of pancreatic cancer, affecting over 60% of patients at diagnosis. Unlike many other malignancies, the pain associated with pancreatic cancer is often complex, arising from a combination of visceral, somatic, and neuropathic mechanisms. It may be caused by direct tumour invasion, inflammation, ductal obstruction, or cancer treatment itself. This complexity means that pain management must be highly individualised and multi-modal. Furthermore, up to 30% of cancer patients experience pain that is refractory to standard pharmacologic management, especially in the later stages of pancreatic cancer. This activity is designed to reinforce and upskill knowledge relating to the management of pancreatic cancer pain and pathways that support timely access to palliative care and effective pain management for people with pancreatic cancer, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Bowel cancer (colorectal cancer) is one of Australia’s deadliest cancers: it is estimated that bowel cancer will remain the second leading cause of cancer death in Australians of all ages in 2023. Its incidence is rising in Australia and other comparable countries in younger adults aged under 50: A 45-year-old today has the same bowel cancer risk a 50-year-old had 10 years ago. Recent changes to Australian medical guidelines recommending population screening for younger people have created new opportunities for GPs in the prevention, early detection and management of colorectal cancer. GPs should be aware of the recommendations, as well as key considerations in managing potential colorectal cancer presentations in younger adults (20-50 years).

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common inherited neurological conditions, affecting about one in 3,000 people worldwide. Diagnosis is complicated by the heterogenous nature of the condition, however prompt referral to an appropriate specialist can greatly improve outcomes for patients. GPs play a pivotal role in the multidisciplinary to monitor symptoms and refer promptly where necessary, as well as managing the physical, psychological, and social challenges of living with a chronic and unpredictable condition.
