[Bowel Cancer Outcomes Registry @BCORORG]

1 in 13 of us will get bowel cancer. Over 68,000 patients’ outcomes. 19 years of data. One funding gap away from going dark. BCOR pauses on 18 Dec. Did you know this was at risk? #SaveBCOR #ClinicalRegistries @ACSQHC @Monash_SPHPM @RACSurgeons

[CSSANZ @CSSANZORG]

2 days to go! The countdown is well and truly on — Cairns Convention Centre, we're on our way.

[Bowel Cancer Outcomes Registry @BCORORG]

Bowel cancer diagnoses in Australians under 50 are up almost 140% in 30 years (AIHW). BCOR tracks their care and outcomes, and it’s at risk of losing its funding. Tag someone under 40. #SaveBCOR #NeverTooYoung @BowelCancerAust

[CSSANZ @CSSANZORG]

1 week to go! CRSM26 runs Wed 21–Sat 24 Oct, Cairns Convention Centre. Our AGM is Thu 22 Oct, 5pm AEST — office bearers & new members announced. Watch this space!
@GeneralSurgAus

[Bowel Cancer Outcomes Registry @BCORORG]

Do you know someone with bowel cancer? BCOR, the outcomes registry helping improve bowel cancer care in Australia & NZ, pauses on 18 Dec because funding hasn't kept up. Tag someone it's touched. #SaveBCOR #BowelCancer
