This survey was last carried out two years ago, and repeating it now allows us to understand what has changed, identify any ongoing challenges, and measure whether access to primary care services has improved.

Your feedback will help us ensure local services meet the needs of patients and communities.

We are gathering views about smear tests (also called cervical screening) and would like to hear from people with learning disabilities, people with autism, and people with Down’s syndrome, as well as their parents, carers, and support workers.

The survey asks about experiences, concerns, access to appointments, and what could make cervical screening more comfortable and accessible. Your responses will help us understand barriers and provide better support, so people can attend their appointments and feel comfortable doing so.

If you don’t personally support someone who would complete the survey, we would appreciate you sharing it with colleagues, families, or individuals who may wish to share their experiences.

You can access the survey on the ICB webpage or link below. The survey will be open until 11pm on Sunday 15 March.
