Gippsland Breast Cancer Education Evening
Breast Cancer Education Evening
GRICS hosted a Breast Cancer Education evening for Gippsland health professionals on Thursday 20th July 2023. The event was offered both in person at Century Inn Traralgon, as well as online via webinar. This event was multidisciplinary in nature, open to a range of health professionals including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, nurses, radiologists and GPs.
The event was very popular and interest far exceeded our expectations. 47 people attended in person on the evening and a further 6 people attended online via the webinar option.
Chere McCamley, local Breast & General Surgeon and Chair of the Gippsland Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Meeting (MDM), chaired the evening. Stewart Harper, GRICS Program Manager, provided an overview of the Breast Cancer Tumour Summit, and we also heard presentations from the following specialists from across the state:
