The Pancare Foundation has created a GP and practice nurse professional development opportunity, with the aim of increasing earlier diagnosis of gastric and oesophageal cancer in symptomatic people.
The online module is free, RACGP, APNA and ACCRM accredited and takes 1 hour to complete.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this activity, you will be able to:
- Identify patients at high risk of oesophagogastric cancer and those who present with symptoms
- Facilitate appropriate and timely referral of patients at risk of, or with suspected, oesophagogastric cancer for further investigations and/or specialist intervention.
As well as the online module, the Pancare Foundation have also released an article titled Understanding and Addressing Challenges in Gastric and Oesophageal Cancers and a podcast titled ‘What doctors need to know about gastric and oesophageal cancer.’
