Having a parent pass away from non smoking related lung cancer years back, it was an emotional moment hearing consumer Lillian Leigh share her thoughts and speak to the first new national lung cancer screening program in nearly 20 years at #COSA2023.

Chronic Oedema: the Hidden Epidemic by Dr Liz Webb. Prevalence largely unknown but estimated to be as high as 54% in residential aged care. Late diagnosis and poor Mx can lead to further complex health issues and hospitalisation. Physios can help! @apaphysio #IGNITE2023

Cellulitis is 3rd most common ED diagnosis that requires hospital admission. RCT by Liz Webb shows compression therapy ⬇️ cellulitis risk by 77% & is cost effective. Everyone with lymphoedema should be educated on risk and how to mx risk but they are not. @apaphysio #IGNITE2023
