Join us for an education session for general practice with Dr Cameron Law and Dr Richard Savdie from Prince of Wales Private Hospital.

This session will focus on the early detection and management of colorectal and prostate cancers in primary care.

Participants will strengthen their ability to identify at-risk patients, recognise early warning signs and red flags, and distinguish malignant from benign conditions. The session will review current Australian screening guidelines, including the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program and PSA testing within a shared decision-making framework. Attendees will also refine their approach to selecting and interpreting appropriate investigations, initiating timely referrals, and coordinating multidisciplinary care to optimise patient outcomes in men’s health.

Presented by:

• Dr Cameron Law | Colorectal Surgery, General Surgery | Prince Of Wales Private Hospital | Healthscope Hospitals – early screening and warning signs of colorectal cancer
• Dr Richard Savdie | Urology | Prince Of Wales Private Hospital | Healthscope Hospitals – prostate cancer and screening

Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify and stratify patients at risk of colorectal and prostate cancer based on history, risk factors, and clinical presentation.
2. Apply current Australian screening recommendations for colorectal and prostate cancer, incorporating the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program and PSA testing within shared decision-making.
3. Recognise early signs, symptoms, and red flags suggestive of colorectal and prostate malignancy, and differentiate these from benign conditions.
4. Select and interpret appropriate investigations (including stool tests, colonoscopy referral, and PSA testing) to guide timely diagnosis in general practice.
5. Initiate evidence-based management and referral pathways, including patient counselling, preventive strategies, and coordination of multidisciplinary care to optimise men’s health outcomes.

Target audience: GPs, nurses and AHPs whose work aligns with the topic.
