Health Promotion in the Practice

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 23rd 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. 

Judges are looking for....

  • innovation and creativity
  • use of BSWA resources (order form here)
  • message about screening
  • overall effort.

Photographs of the winners may be published on Facebook, websites and in print media.

Entries must be submitted by November 15 2024. Please send your photos to breastscreenwa@health.wa.gov.au
