Cancer screening plays a crucial role in the early detection and diagnosis of cancers, and it can even aid in their prevention. However, LGBTQ+ individuals often face unique barriers that complicate the screening process. These challenges may include a lack of information regarding eligibility for screenings, insufficient invitations to participate, and experiences of gender dysphoria.
Didsbury Medical Centre want to make sure that our patients who are part of the LGBT+ community feel safe and comfortable to attend screening programmes.
