Assessment of a project to increase the uptake of a national bowel screening programme among people with learning disabilities in Bristol
This article reports on a Queen’s Nursing Institute funded project that ran in 2015. The project was commissioned to improve the uptake of the national bowel cancer screening programme by people with learning disabilities. The proposal was accepted partly on the strength of a public health-funded project, which ran from April to August 2014. This initial project was commissioned following the University of Bristol’s Confidential Inquiry into Premature Deaths of People with Learning Disabilities. The aim of this initial work was to measure and increase the participation of Bristol’s learning disability population in the screening programme.
