One of the key aims of Cancer Wise Leeds is to help improve participation in the screening programmes for cervical cancer, and also bowel cancer and breast cancer.
The project is funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research, led by Leeds City Council and delivered in partnership with the Leeds Cancer Programme.
Supporting this aim over the three-year programme are six screening and awareness coordinators.
Working within Primary Care Networks in communities across the city, the co-ordinators are working with communities to better understand how the screening process could be improved to meet their needs.
