Health Inequalities: LD Cervical Screening

Improving the Uptake of Cervical Screening for Patients with a Learning Disability

(work of Dr Sarah Taylor, GP Fellow)

Following completion of a Clinical Fellowship in the Training Hub, Dr Sarah Taylor has developed this Toolkit for primary care professionals which offers a simple guide to delivering an enhanced cervical screening service for patients with a Learning Disability (LD). In BSW 40% of this population are overdue their cervical screening. This resource supports practices to deliver a range of evidence based reasonable adjustments in order to address the health inequalities gap experienced by patients with LD.
