Are you in Australia, aged 20-70, with an increased risk of #BreastCancer via family history, prev ADH or LCIS on biopsy, or other reasons? Hurry to your GP for referral to this FREE, TELEHEALTH service recently started by @drkellyphillips to discuss medical prevention. #ASBD2025

This was the impetus for the AI machine *reading* pilot (not learning- data remain secure and are not used for training the AI). Now into its 10th month, the AI performs one of the two reads and has greater accuracy than all human readers in NSW except one.

I was astonished to hear from Matthew Warner-Smith that the public radiology workforce in NSW is so precarious that just 4 radiologists, all approaching retirement age, do 1/3 of Breastscreen NSW reporting. And screens are double-read- a huge volume. 😱 #ASBD2025 #BreastCancer

So so important to listen to our patients of all sorts ... we learn so much from them ..

The legendary @FallowfieldLJ speaks about clinician communication with patients. When clinicians attending communication skills programs are asked who is a 'difficult' patient, it's basically... everyone. Tag yourself! I'm 'over-educated academics and teachers' 🤣 #ASBD2025

.@VivienneMilch1 gives a peek at the Breastscreen Australia review (soon for release). In welcome news, breast density will be routinely communicated. However, BSA cannot offer ⬆️screening for density, so resources are being developed to enable GPs to lead this instead. #ASBD2025

Powerful talk from Emily Duncan at #ASBD2025 about how being diagnosed with #BreastCancer meant being seen as a disease, making her own self and experiences invisible. A timely reminder that clinicians can better validate patient lived experience, and normalise discussing QoL.

Things I've learned today from Lisa Birmingham, pelvic floor physio: -80% of women are getting pelvic floor health info from social media -assessment and treatment can happen via telehealth because there are Bluetooth enabled pressure-sensing pessaries 🤯 #BreastCancer #ASBD2025

Such a sensible and gently humorous take on menopausal side effects from Dr Virginia Baird. First, define what the *patient* thinks 'libido' is, because it can vary from 'inability to self-pleasure to orgasm' to 'inability to meet partner expectations'. #BreastCancer #ASBD2025

'I've been waiting for an event like this for almost 40 years'. Hear from #HeartOfMedicine faculty below. And please do consider joining us in the heart of next year, in the heart of the country, in the heart of healthcare. 🤗 https://t.co/lL3cGM71e6

Woohoo @JLRahiri! 🎉🎉🎉 https://t.co/fCVmaR1mFP

By chance, I've packed a leotard that matches the artwork in my hotel room. That's never happened before! 💜🩰🤣

Share this little-known #breastcancer fact- Breast cancer doesn’t always appear as a lump. #Breastcancer in its earliest stages doesn’t usually have any symptoms. So being breast aware is best #breastcancerawareness #drnighat

@LiangRhea That is ridiculous. You just received an award from a national organization. I’ve had some experiences lately and am beginning to think the underlying reason is racism

@LiangRhea OMG don’t waste your time/endless energy on this group. You are truly our leading being for education in this country if not the world, ( no exaggeration) They are not worth your time. You are appreciated by those who count

Hearty congratulations xx

#Straya, where we give way to water dragons crossing the path 🤗

So cute watching the world discover Robert Irwin. Just wait until they find his recent advertising campaign 🤣

This is brilliant! Wish we could do the same in Australia. https://t.co/nKe5GMhOw6

Delighted to announce, on a steamingly hot day in SE QLD, that I have been promoted to MD Curriculum Lead at @BondUniversity. 🤗 #MedEd
