VAAC Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form

Closing date: Midnight Wednesday 22nd June 2022

VAAC are working with West Sussex CCG on a project to raise the awareness and uptake of the NHS cancer screening programmes (bowel, breast and cervical). The first piece of work is around cervical screening (smear tests).

VAAC have put together a short survey to help understand what holds people back from going ahead and booking an appointment. Please pass this information on to group members so that we can gather as wide a range of responses as possible. If your group members or service users would like to take part but would find it difficult to access the google form then please contact VAAC’s Community Participation Officer Charlotte Walker on charlotte.walker@vaac.org.uk who can come and gather information in person via a tablet.

To access the survey , please use the following link: https://forms.gle/6haJTWuATK7WFefv8

Let them know if you are coming: 07549 032 718 or email: vivian@ukswa.co
