Cancer Screening Research – RNLD’s wanted.

Dr. Genevieve Breau and colleagues at the University of Greenwich (London, UK) are currently interviewing learning disabilities nurses across the UK about their experiences recommending breast, cervical, and bowel cancer screening to their patients with learning disabilities.

If you are a learning disabilities nurse in the UK, and you are interested in learning more about the study, please contact Genevieve at G.Breau@gre.ac.uk. If you wanted to participate, you would need to provide consent and a brief demographics form, and participate in a 30-40 minute interview on Microsoft Teams at a mutually convenient time. All nurses who participate are given a £20 shopping voucher.
