SUMMARY:Lets talk about sex syphilis\, STIs & BBVs - Raising the issue in a AOD setting
DESCRIPTION:**REGISTER HERE BY 9TH SEPTEMBER** \n  \nTarget audience: Workers in the alcohol and other drug (AOD) and mental health specialist sectors. \nPresented by: Dr Donna Mak\, Public Health Physician\, Communicable Disease Control Directorate School of Medicine\, University of Notre Dame with an expert panel from the AOD sector. \nDetails: People who experience AOD-related issues or mental health conditions can be at higher risk of contracting Blood-Borne Viruses (BBVs) and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI). Raising these issues with consumers can be uncomfortable\, but workers in the AOD and mental health sectors do play a role in the treatment and prevention of STIs and BBVs including syphilis. Syphilis\, once associated with men who have sex with men and sex workers\, is now a significant concern as at-risk groups have now expanded to include pregnant women\, heterosexual men and women\, and people experiencing mental illness\, AOD issues\, homelessness and unstable accommodation. \nWhile the main focus of this webinar will be syphilis\, the information discussed will be relevant to other STIs and BBVs. A panel of experts from the AOD sector will join Donna. \nThis webinar will provide Western Australian AOD and Mental Health workers with: \n\nAn update on the current syphilis outbreak in WA and Australia\nInformation and tools required to raise the topic of sexual health check-ups for STIs and BBVs\nInformation about referral options for STI and BBV testing.\n\nWe will use case studies to illustrate the implications of the infectious syphilis outbreak in WA  for AOD and mental health sector workers and their clients. \nPlease notify us if you have not received an acknowledgement email that your application has been received. \nFor further enquiries please contact the Workforce Development Administration Officer on 6553 0560.

SUMMARY:Getting to the bottom of colonoscopy use in bowel screening - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Encouragement and support by GPs and practice nurses\, can have significant impact on improving participation in bowel cancer screening; evidence shows that a recommendation by a trusted health professional is a key motivator to participate. General practice health professionals have several important roles in the NBCSP\, including encouraging and supporting participation\, managing participants who have a positive FOBT\, providing information about referrals to the NBCSP\, and managing individuals who\, by way of symptom(s) or significant family history\, require diagnostic investigations or targeted surveillance rather than screening. \nIn this three-part webinar series\, an array of experts from across Australia will present on various topics related to bowel cancer screening\, including the latest research on those who do not screen and why; the National Bowel Cancer Screening program; and the importance of the appropriate use of colonoscopy . Part three\, Gastroenterologist Dr Hooi Ee will discuss the appropriate use of colonoscopies including when to start and stop surveillance for patients; how to communicate the benefits and risk to patients\, and when to refer a patient back to the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program after a colonoscopy.

SUMMARY:Bowel cancer screening – from the GP perspective - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Encouragement and support by GPs and practice nurses\, can have significant impact on improving participation in bowel cancer screening; evidence shows that a recommendation by a trusted health professional is a key motivator to participate. General practice health professionals have several important roles in the NBCSP\, including encouraging and supporting participation\, managing participants who have a positive FOBT\, providing information about referrals to the NBCSP\, and managing individuals who\, by way of symptom(s) or significant family history\, require diagnostic investigations or targeted surveillance rather than screening. \nIn this three-part webinar series\, an array of experts from across Australia will present on various topics related to bowel cancer screening\, including the latest research on those who do not screen and why; the National Bowel Cancer Screening program; and the importance of the appropriate use of colonoscopy . Part two will address the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program\, including the efficacy of the FOBT in average risk populations\, advice on answering questions around age eligibility and appropriate management of patients with a family history of bowel cancer; and case studies addressing challenging patients’ cases and how they can be managed.
