The Impact
The women who were interviewed about their experiences explained how their feelings about screening had changed over the course of their lives. In a focus group, the project team worked with some of the interviewees to co-design an innovative leaflet which answers some of the very specific questions women in their fifties and sixties might have about cervical screening. The team also worked with health care professionals interviewed for the project to develop a cartoon animation as a training tool for practitioners, addressing the challenges of providing sensitive cervical screening for women over fifty.
