In our quest to provide free, high quality, easy to access training for those informing women about breast screening, we often collaborate with other organisations. This makes sure we can get the right information to as many of you as possible and that you can evidence your learning in line with your professional continuing professional development (CPD).
We have worked with the British Medical Journal (BMJ) recently to support its publication of a free one hour module on breast screening in the NHS.
The module is up to date and follows the NHS breast screening pathway. Through interactive case histories, this e-learning explains how to advise women who are concerned about breast cancer, and what information to give them. It is primarily aimed at GPs and nurses working in general practice but it provides a useful insight for others new to working in the screening programme.
