Encourage more patients to screen for bowel cancer – free training now available

04 August 2025

Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer, yet over 90% of cases are treatable if caught early.

The new National Bowel Cancer Screening Program Learning Hub, hosted by GPEX, offers free CPD accredited training, clinical resources, and practical tools to help healthcare professionals boost screening rates.

Healthcare providers – including GPs, nurses, practice staff, tertiary specialists, and allied health professionals, now have access to:

  • Free, CPD accredited training – events start soon!
  • Downloadable resources to support bowel screening conversations
  • An online Learning Hub with everything you need to know about the National Bowel Cancer
  • Screening Program and the cancer care continuum

Bowel cancer is responsible for more than 5,000 deaths in Australia each year. The good news?

Finding it early saves lives. Healthcare providers play a crucial role in helping patients aged 45 to 74 to screen for bowel cancer.
