We Care Project

We Care is a podcast series exploring how cervical screening can be delivered in ways that are compassionate, sensitive, and responsive to women who have experienced sexual violence and abuse. Drawing on international research across Wales, England, Sweden, and Australia, the series brings together lived experiences, practitioner insight, and system-level perspectives to examine the enablers and barriers to women feeling safe and respected in screening settings.  The series sits alongside a wider research project developing a compassionate care model of cervical screening. It not only explores practical improvements in communication, choice, and service design, but also applies health and care economics to assess impact and value. By combining lived experience, co-production, and economic evaluation, We Care aims to support screening services that are both person-centred and sustainable, strengthening trust, access, and outcomes for women. Mae We Care yn gyfres podlediad sy’n archwilio sut y gellir darparu sgrinio serfigol mewn ffyrdd tosturiol, sensitif ac ymatebol i ferched sydd wedi profi trais a chamdriniaeth rhywiol. Gan dynnu ar ymchwil ryngwladol ar draws Cymru, Lloegr, Sweden ac Awstralia, mae’r gyfres yn dod ynghyd â phrofiadau byw, mewnwelediad ymarferwyr, a safbwyntiau ar lefel system i archwilio’r ffactorau sy’n hwyluso ac yn rhwystro merched rhag teimlo’n ddiogel ac yn cael eu parchu mewn lleoliadau sgrinio. Content warning: This podcast includes discussion of sexual violence and sexual abuse, which some listeners may find distressing. Please take care while listening. Mae’r gyfres yn eistedd ochr yn ochr â phrosiect ymchwil ehangach sy’n datblygu model gofal tosturiol ar gyfer sgrinio serfigol. Nid yn unig mae’n archwilio gwelliannau ymarferol mewn cyfathrebu, dewis a dylunio gwasanaethau, ond mae hefyd yn cymhwyso economeg iechyd a gofal i asesu effaith a gwerth. Drwy gyfuno profiad byw, cyd-gynhyrchu a gwerthusiad economaidd, nodWe Care yw cefnogi gwasanaethau sgrinio sy’n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn ac yn gynaliadwy, gan gryfhau ymddiriedaeth, mynediad a chanlyniadau i ferched.
