National Lung Cancer Screening Program Webinar

Wed 11th June @ 7:00 pm

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) is being implemented in Northern Sydney through a coordinated effort involving local healthcare providers, community health services and the LHD.

The program aims to increase early detection of lung cancer through regular screenings, identifying high-risk individuals and providing them with access to low-dose CT (LDCT) scans. Efforts include raising awareness about the importance of early-stage cancer diagnosis, reducing barriers to care, and ensuring equitable access to screening services. Additionally, healthcare providers are supported with guidelines and resources to manage referrals and follow-up care effectively.

The webinar will include:

  • Overview of the screening program by GP Liaison Officers based at RNSH
  • Discussions by a radiologist on pulmonary nodules and referral processes
  • A Cardiologist discussing incidental cardiac plaques
  • An Endocrinologist to discuss thyroid nodules

The PHN will provide information on enrolling eligible patients in the NLCSCP.

The session will conclude with a Q&A.
