Brief Overview
The meeting aims to explore the global progression of lung cancer screening, review the
rollout of Australia’s National Lung Cancer Screening Program, and highlight the
critical role of GPs in facilitating early detection. The session will also focus on
navigating local screening pathways at Bankstown Hospital and affiliated radiology
networks, concluding with case-based discussions that follow the journey from screening
to diagnosis.

Program Outcome
GPs often encounter patients who may benefit from reconstructive surgery or are managing its aftermath, but they may lack a clear understanding of the types of reconstruction available, what outcomes to expect, or optimal referral pathways. This activity addresses the need for GPs to be better informed to identify suitable candidates for referral, provide effective pre- and post-operative care, and manage patient expectations. It aims to bridge the knowledge gap between primary care and specialist plastic surgery, leading to more timely and appropriate patient management.
By completing this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify common conditions and patient presentations that may benefit from general reconstructive surgery.
- Describe the basic principles and common techniques used in general reconstruction (e.g., skin grafts, local flaps).
- Explain the pre-operative considerations and post-operative care requirements for patients undergoing general reconstructive procedures.
- Recognize potential complications associated with reconstructive surgery and initiate appropriate early management.
- Effectively counsel patients on the realistic outcomes and recovery process of reconstructive surgery.
- Determine appropriate referral criteria for plastic and reconstructive surgery and communicate effectively with specialists.
- Access and utilize relevant patient and professional resources related to reconstructive surgery.
This activity will use a blend of educational methods to ensure effective learning:
Illustrated presentations: Using clinical images and diagrams to explain complex surgical concepts and outcomes.
Case discussions: Analyzing real-world patient scenarios from initial presentation to post-operative follow-up, emphasizing the GP's role.
Expert Q&A panel: Opportunity to ask questions directly to experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
Interactive polling/quizzes: To reinforce key concepts and gauge understanding.
Provided resources: Handouts summarizing key referral pathways, patient education materials, and relevant guidelines.
The effectiveness of this CPD activity will be evaluated through:
Pre- and post-activity questionnaires: Assessing changes in participants' confidence and knowledge regarding general reconstruction topics.
Post-activity feedback surveys: Collecting qualitative and quantitative data on the relevance of content, clarity of presentations, effectiveness of teaching methods, and overall satisfaction. Questions will specifically ask if learning objectives were met and for suggestions for future improvements.
Informal feedback during Q&A: Monitoring engagement and recurring questions to identify areas needing further clarification or expansion in future iterations.
All feedback data will be meticulously reviewed. Recurring themes and constructive criticisms will directly inform revisions to the content, teaching methods, and duration of future programs, ensuring continuous improvement and alignment with GP learning needs.
