Would your practice like to promote Breast Cancer Awareness month in October? Here’s how...

BreastScreen WA (BSWA) is seeking your support in promoting breast cancer awareness in October. This is the 21st year BSWA has run this activity with GPs. It is an opportunity for GPs and staff to “be in the pink” for breast cancer, which affects 1 in 7 women in Australia and causes 3000 deaths annually. We suggest practices hold the event for the entire month of October. A gift hamper prize will be awarded to the practice with the most decorative and innovative display that promotes BreastScreen WA and breast cancer screening.

Please email photographs (high resolution 300dpi JPEG, or minimum 1MB) of your display and staff to breastscreenwa@health.wa.gov.au by 11/11/2022.
