Healthwatch Redbridge Women's Health Project

We recently spoke with groups of women about their experiences of cervical screening appointments. 

Some women had found it hard to get a cervical screening (or smear test) appointment. In some cases, they had never been invited to have a smear test. 

This has been more of a problem for some women from ethnic minorities, women with physical and learning disabilities. We want to understand any barriers you face and the affect they have on you being able to get screened.

We particularly want to hear from women within the following communities: Somali or Bengali Women, Romanian Women, Black/Afro Caribbean & African Women, Wheelchair users, Learning Disabled or Autistic Women.

We are currently planning women only information events.
