Specialist Advisors
Specialist Advisors
Health professionals are essential in helping their patients make good choices about their health. That's why, at BreastScreen Victoria, we engage with GPs, pharmacies and Primary Health Networks to help us achieve our mission of assisting eligible Victorians to make informed decisions about their approach to the early detection of breast cancer. We offer resources for health professionals and educational activities as well as patient support services. Specialist Advisors play an essential role to help us improve and expand our engagement.
