Our second accredited Cancer Education Course for Aboriginal Health Professionals

Cancer Council WA recently delivered the second accredited version of our Cancer Education Course for Aboriginal Health Professionals in partnership with the Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia (AHCWA) and funded by Tackling Indigenous Smoking.

The course was held from Monday 17 to Friday 21 February 2020 and a total of fourteen health professionals from Broome, Kununurra, Halls Creek, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Western Desert, Albany and the Perth metro area attended the course.

Over the five days, participants learnt about many aspects of cancer, from prevention right through to palliative care and survivorship. The course included interactive presentations from representatives from Cancer Council WA, WA Cervical Cancer Prevention Program, WA Department of Health Bowel Cancer Screening Program, WA Cancer and Palliative Care Network, staff from the Sir Charles Gairdner Cancer Centre and the Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach (PEPA).

The participants were also taken on tours to Milroy Lodge, and the Cancer Centre at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital where they visited the chemotherapy, radiation therapy and haematology units.

To conclude the week, participants delivered a group presentation and completed a case study assessment to put what they’d learnt into practice. Overall a great week was had by all, with many participants stating they had gained a lot of knowledge and skills to take with them and use in their roles.

We would like to thank everyone involved for their help in developing and delivering this course and we look forward to working in partnership with AHCWA to deliver the course again in the near future.

Help us keep up the good work Why?
Well, unlike many news organisations, we have no sponsors, no corporate or ideological interests. We don't put up a paywall – we believe in free access to information of public interest.
Media ownership in Australia is one of the most concentrated in the world (Learn more). Since the trend of consolidation is and has historically been upward, fewer and fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media in our country. According to independent assessment, about 98% of the media sector is held by three conglomerates. This tendency is not only totally unacceptable, but also to a degree frightening). Learn more here
We endeavour to provide the community with real-time access to true unfiltered news firsthand from primary sources. It is a bumpy road with all sorties of difficulties.
We can only achieve this goal together. Our website is open to any citizen journalists and organizations who want to contribute, publish high-quality insights or send media releases to improve public access to impartial information. You and we have the right to know, learn, read, hear what and how we deem appropriate.
Your support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
