We teamed up with 'Speakup' to produce this easy-read document which encourages early check ups and discusses the core signs and symtoms for various common cancers.
It also includes a link to the video of our South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw GPs enouraging people to continuing seeking healthcare when needed during the pandemic.
Speakup is run by and for people with learning disabilities and autistic people. The organisation gives people with learning disabilities and autistic people a voice, employment opportunities, and makes sure that they are valued and included in society.
Speakup created this newsletter to relay the messages of the 'Open For Business' campaign to those with a learning disability.
It highlights that healthcare services remain open during the pandemic and relays the importance of continuing to seek help when it is needed.
This pack produced by the Northern Cancer Alliance, North East Learning Disability Network and the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys foundation trust includes practical guidance on supporting access to screenings, person centered assessment/checklists and screening action plans.
In addition this pack can provide guidance for health care professionals such as GPs, practice nurses, learning disability nurses, social workers, care coordinators and cancer screening practitioners who are supporting and promoting access to cancer screening for people with learning disabilities.
