North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) is partnering with Cancer Council Victoria, VCS Foundation and the Victorian Department of Health to offer practices in our catchment an opportunity to participate in a fully supported quality improvement activity.

This project will focus on general practices proactively contacting patients to encourage screening participation for bowel, cervical and liver cancer.
