Befriend Your Boobs was an interactive teaching session designed to empower attendees with the knowledge and confidence to better understand breast health and develop essential clinical skills.

During the session, participants covered how to perform a breast examination on both themselves and patients, genetic and modifiable risk factors associated with breast disease and discussed key red flag signs and symptoms that should never be ignored. The session welcomed both medical students looking to build confidence in clinical examinations and individuals wanting to better understand their own bodies.

Through practical, evidence-based teaching in a supportive environment, attendees were encouraged to feel more confident checking, knowing and talking about breast health. The Befriend Your Boobs workshop helped normalise important conversations around breast awareness and empowered participants to take a proactive approach to their health.
