Improving access to Cancer Screening and Awareness for Autistic People and those with Learning Disabilities

We have recently appointed a Cancer Care Co-Ordinator with the aim of raising cancer awareness with individuals who have learning disabilities and those who are autistic. In addition to improving understanding of the different types of cancer, the Cancer Care Co-ordinator will work with individuals and their Carers to encourage attendance and engagement with  the screening programmes for Breast, Cervical and Bowel Cancers.
