This guidance aims to support women with learning disabilities with some of the challenges they face when accessing cervical screening services. It will assist healthcare professionals involved in delivering the screening service, providing a pathway to follow and guidance on broader management of women with learning disabilities within the cervical screening pathway.
You will find attached the Kent & Medway Policy for Cervical Screening for women with Learning Disabilities. The aim of the policy is to provide guidance and describe good practice to ensure that women with learning disabilities have equal rights of access as all other women to NHS Cervical Screening Programme (NHSCSP). Please feel free to download and disseminate this policy to benefit from the guidance within this document which will provide a clear pathway to follow.

Exciting news!
There is real progress with the accessibility of the “My Healthcare Passport” participants are required to be involved in a project with this innovative patient held health record system.
Interested – Read on!
As a result of East Kent Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust (EKHUFT) participative action research study – and the Co-researchers hard work – a new fillable PDF version of “My Healthcare Passport” is available for download at www.ekhuft.nhs.uk/passport. This means that it can be downloaded, typed into, saved and shared.
Along with this, EKHUFT have been working with an organisation called tap2tag https://www.tap2tag.me/ who appeared on Dragon’s Den over the Christmas period.
Tap2tag could have real benefits for safeguarding people with learning disabilities Healthcare Passports. Therefore, EKHUFT are looking for 20-25 volunteers to test out the tap2tag system and the new Healthcare Passport.
If you are interested in participating please see the project planning meeting invite. Tap2Tag Project Invite 12-1-16
The meeting is an opportunity to hear a little more about the Passport, Tap2Tag and the plan for the project. From there, if you wanted to join the project, we would be able to give you a tap2tag token to test out.
This is real progress with the accessibility of the “My Healthcare Passport” participants are required to be involved in a project with an innovative patient held health record system.
