Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust is looking for women from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities to help them make a new film which aims to reduce health inequalities by raising awareness of cervical cancer and how to prevent it through attending cervical screening (smear tests).
If you are from a BME community, aged 25 to 64 and are are happy to be filmed on the 14th April near Kings Cross in London , then you can get involved. You’ll be needed between 12.00 and 4.30 pm and Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust can cover all reasonable travel costs.
They are looking for a mixture of women, some of whom have been for their smear test and others who have been invited but not attended. If you have been through cervical screening they will ask you to talk about your experience.
The film will be shown to
– Women eligible for screening in the UK (grandmothers, mothers, daughters) focusing on BME women
– Health Professionals: Primary & Secondary health care professionals
– Employers & Unions
– Anyone that likes to gain information via a video
It will be used on the:
– JCCT’s website to compliment online written content
– Within presentations and public facing events to raise awareness of cervical screening
– Social media: facebook, twitter etc.
If you would like to help raise awareness amongst women from all communities and help JCCT prevent cervical cancer please contact:
