The Breast Imaging Research Group at the University of Dundee wants to make breast screening (mammograms) easier for everyone.
They are looking for:
- Women aged 45–70 who have a learning disability
- Carers or supporters of women with a learning disability
Why?
Many women with learning disabilities do not get breast checks.
This can happen because:
- The breast screening process is confusing
- Stressful
- Difficult to take part in
If women miss breast screening, health problems may not be found early.
What is happening?
The research team is holding a Focus Group.
A Focus Group is a small meeting where people talk about their experiences.
They want to listen to
- Your experience of breast screening
- What was difficult
- What would make it easier
- Why your voice matters
Your ideas will help
- Improve breast screening services
- Make healthcare fairer and more accessible
- Inform future research and advise policymakers
