Lewisham Council's Public Health are launching a programme, aimed at improving cancer screening uptake and reducing inequalities in uptake across Lewisham Borough.
Diversity - Health & Well-being CiC, will be undertaking promotional activity to:
• Raise awareness of cancer screening programmes in culturally appropriate ways.
• Improve understanding of some of the barriers to screening faced by communities, and to understand why existing messaging is not recognised/accepted.
• Improve trust in messaging and local cancer screening services.
• Less than half of those living with Learning Disabilities (LD) or Serious Mental Illness (SMI) who are eligible, have taken up breast cancer screening so present an opportunity for improvement. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/its-all-gone-tits-up-tickets-1231611125029?aff=oddtdtcreator
