Primary care online training on multifactorial breast cancer risk: pre–post evaluation study

Highly informative and useful.

‘It is an eye-opener programme and very educative.’ (p29 Female PN, North East)

‘Very informative and detailed. Relevant and actionable steps that can be taken by primary care physicians.’ (p1 Male GP, London)

‘Exceptionally educative and informative.’ (p15 Male PN, South East)

Demonstration of the CanRisk tool.

‘It was good to understand how to interpret a CanRisk example report, but it would have been useful to also learn a bit more on how to access CanRisk, and a brief section on how to fill in the CanRisk questions in practice.’ (p19 Female GP, East Midlands)

‘The opportunity to complete the CanRisk tool would be good.’ (p34, Female PN, Yorkshire and the Humber)

‘Perhaps a demo of the CanRisk assessment procedure showing each drop-down section.’ (p23 Female PN, South West)

Concise and accessible.

Clearly structured.

‘Great succinct online learning, short and concise presentations, simple explanations of risk models and use of CanRisk.’ (p7 Male GP, North West)

‘The training was simple and short but yet contained every detail needed for an improved practice as relating to my knowledge of breast cancer.’ (p21 Female PN, North West)

‘Topic was very well explained in concise and timely manner and objective of learning were clear from start.’ (p9 Male GP, West Midlands)

‘Very helpful focused work, with good section breakdown and rationale for each area of discussion.’ (p17 Male GP, North West)

Including simulations and case scenarios.

Providing handouts.

Accessibility issues.

‘More interactive sessions and adding more real-life clinical cases to presentations.’ (p9 Male GP, West Midlands)

‘I think some offline resources to go alongside would be helpful (like "handouts").’ (p18 Female GP, East of England)

‘Some of the accents were more difficult to understand. At times it felt a little rushed with some of the more detailed slides moving on quickly.’ (p34, Female PN, Yorkshire and the Humber)

‘It was difficult to read the slides on a mobile phone.’ (p6 Female GP, East of England)

Relevant for primary care healthcare professionals.

Applicable to primary care.

Completing the training as a good opportunity.

‘I was not previously aware of the CanRisk tool, and I am glad I am able to use this straightaway.’ (p2 Female GP, West Midlands)

‘It was interesting and appropriate to my role as general practitioner.’ (p4 Female GP, West Midlands)

‘Very happy I had the chance to do this, learnt a lot and feel well informed.’ (p16 Female PN, South West)

Concern about time.

Integration with clinical record system.

‘My main concern is my ability to complete this depth of conversation within a 10-minute appointment slot. I wonder whether there is any scope to develop a questionnaire (or AccuRx type template) to gather the information needed to calculate a patient’s risk so that they can then be bought in for an appointment at a later stage.’ (p26, Female GP, South East)

‘Does it incorporate into GP software such as EMIS and SystmOne? or is there coding available to document it?’ (p2 Female GP, West Midlands)
