If diagnosed early, treatment can be more effective and bowel cancer screening programmes can reduce these mortality figures, yet for people with learning disabilities, the uptake of screening is significantly lower than the rest of the population. Aims To describe the process of co-production when working with a group of people with learning disabilities to explore why they may be reluctant to access bowel cancer screening. Methods A consultation meeting was held with one of the authors, six people with learning disabilities, an advocate and two specialist nurses. A feedback session was organised and a report using clear information was written in conjunction with the participants. Findings Participants discussed what gets in the way of attending for bowel screening and what might help to increase uptake, including awareness, support and clear information. Conclusion Working in co-production proved mutually beneficial as local clinicians also learned how to communicate more effectively with people who have learning disabilities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: review Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
