BreastScreen Victoria GP Resource

Although a doctor's referral is not required for women to attend BreastScreen Victoria, the Program works closely with GPs and their dedication and ongoing contribution is greatly appreciated. GPs are instrumental in encouraging initial participation and return-to-screening attendance and in the event of a breast cancer diagnosis, women are referred back to their GPs for care and management.

To assist GPs to provide women with information about breast cancer screening and, in particular, how to make an appointment to participate in the program, BreastScreen Victoria have developed simple to use electronic resources.

The resources are available here as:

a Rich Text Format (rtf) file in colour  

or

as (Portable Document Format (pdfs) in colour and black and white 

Please refer to the appropriate divisional website for guidance on intergrating these resources with patient management software.
