Study launched to increase disabled people's smear uptake
, and reduce the number of deaths from cervical cancer, as well as the need for invasive treatment.
“Conducted in collaboration with Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and patient representatives, the researchers will conduct interviews and a survey with people that have physical disabilities and conditions that make cervical screening challenging, as well as interviewing GPs, nurses and GP reception staff to understand the barriers posed by the whole process and explore potential solutions.”
Dr Sue Sherman, lead researcher from Keele University's school of psychology, added:"We are very grateful to have received funding for such an important and largely overlooked issue and we look forward to working with stakeholders to improve the cervical screening experience for physically disabled women and people with a cervix.
“Too often we hear from women who are unable to attend as a result of a disability or long-term condition, and this should not be the case. “We're thrilled to be teaming up with Keele University to help identify and address some of the barriers and stigmas that exist and ensure more women can reduce their risk of cervical cancer."
