GP Circle invites GPs, practice nurses and practice managers to hear from Australian experts about the three cancer research projects underway in Australian general practice.

Speakers

Claire’s team recently received over $1.58 million in MRFF funding to build a new health equity digital navigation tool that will fast-track the elimination of cervical cancer in Australia. She will be present on the progress of this project.

Brent Venning is a GP with research interests in cancer screening and diagnosis with a focus on unwarranted variations in care. He will present on the findings of a recent study examining the public’s preferences for investigating cancer-related symptoms in general practice.

Dr Larry Myers started his post-doctoral research position in the Health Systems and Behavioural Research team at Cancer Council Queensland in May 2021. Larry will present on his PC4 Training Award-funded project which aims to understand the mechanisms underlying the socioeconomic disparities in cancer screening.
