The CRISP tool increased risk-appropriate screening for bowel cancer in general practice settings, specifically for patients with average risk who were due for screening. It's a promising step towards implementing this tool in practice.

It’s taken 1️⃣7️⃣ years to implement 14% of evidence-based findings! We need to speed up high quality translational cancer research to impact patient care. @UMCPC_official we are currently running 6 GP clinical trials. Follow us to find out more! Slide by @CG_MazJo #Surv23

Looking forward to another great edition of the @CaPRINetwork conference in March. It's been a pleasure to plan #CaPRI2023 with the exec committee.
Ca-PRI 2023 will be held at Worcester College, Oxford, on 22nd-24th March 2023. Look out for the Call for Abstract, Registration, and Accommodation links from mid-October. #CaPRI2023 Also look out for an online Survivorship seminar on Thursday, November 17, registration link soon

Michael and I shared two of our papers in the Cancer Survivorship @TheLancet series on this PC4 podcast episode. Always great to discuss innovative ways to improve cancer survivorship care across the board. Papers: thelancet.com/series/cancer-…
What if #cancer was more like diabetes in the way we managed it ongoingly? With a growing number of cancer survivors, we need to look at new models of care. Listen now: pc4tg.com.au/research-round-… @ProfJonEmery @M_Jefford @VCCCAlliance @ACSC_PeterMac

In Adelaide today for the annual @PC4TG Strategic Planning Day. We gave an update on the new MRFF-funded SMARTERscreen trial around increasing #bowel #cancer screening through personalised SMS messages. This builds on the success of the SMARTscreen trial @M_Jefford

We began developing the CRISP trial ten years ago. The RCT tested a risk-prediction tool for colorectal screening in general practice. In parallel, we conducted an implementation study with practice nurses in a primary care setting. Thanks to PC4 for supporting this study.

Today's inaugural PARTNER meeting is facilitated by @Nzeps. Primary care experts Jan, Nigel, David and Andrew shared their insight into the rural clinical trial landscape in each state. Plenty of opportunities - and obstacles. #primarycare #ruralhealth #clinicaltrials
