It is great to see this come to fruition! A lot of time has gone into organising our training school for the cupidcostproject project. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Dublin next week đź‘‹ #cancer #screening #prevention #healthsystems #intellectualdisabilities

Today we're co-delivering a workshop at the cupidcostproject training school on improving equity in screening & learning more about what we can do to help people with intellectual disabilities to take part in screening. #ChooseScreening Mairead O'Connor, PhD Trinity St James's Cancer Institute Trinity Centre for Ageing & ID


Excellent 1at day of this cupidcostproject Training school. It was great to get an international perspective on cancer screening, prevention& treatment among people with intellectual disabilities. Congratulations to all involved in organising, especially Dr Kate Sykes & Dr Martin McMahon 👏

I just did a workshop cupidcostproject training school. I asked members to turn cancer prevention/ screening messages into an easy-to-read format. We talked about whether these formats should be used standard in practice to support everyone’s understanding - I think so! #inclusion


The #BreakingBarriers conference & cupidcostproject training school School of Nursing & Midwifery, TCD Trinity Centre for Ageing & ID was truly inspiring — thank you to everyone who joined, gave presentations, had stands and helped out. Together, we are shaping a powerful narrative of inclusion, equity, and action on cancer

If you’re a researcher or health care professional or someone with #learningdisabilities #intellectualdisabilities or carer or support worker, and you have an interest in #cancer #prevention or cancer #screening it would be great to have you as part of EU network cupidcostproject
