Continuing professional development (CPD) hours for completing quality improvement
As part of the current triennium, general practitioners (GPs) are required to complete hours in Reviewing Performance or Measuring Outcomes. More information is available via the RACGP.
The Brisbane South PHN Quality Improvement team is here to support GPs in identifying areas for improvement—whether clinical, systems-based, or data-related—and assist in planning, implementing, and reviewing QI activities. From defining goals and engaging your team to tracking progress and outcomes, we’ll guide you through each step.

New Primary Sense report to support National Lung Cancer Screening Program: available now
The National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) is a screening program using low-dose computed tomography (low-dose CT) scans to look for lung cancer in high-risk people without any symptoms. It aims to find lung cancer early and save lives. Screening for eligible people is available now.
Primary Sense has launched a new report to support general practices to identify and recall their patients for screening. The National Lung Cancer Screening report can assist to streamline workflows and reduce administrative burden for practices.
For more support using Primary Sense, contact our Primary Health team at support@bsphn.org.au.
