Abstract
INTRODUCTION: This report provides insights from ethnic minority community members who may be under-served by the healthcare system in Northeast Scotland, focusing on how to improve the delivery of cancer screening programmes. METHODS: A partnership approach was used to engage the public with particular emphasis on reaching Polish/Eastern European and African communities. RESULTS: Key areas for improvement identified through discussion groups include communication, cultural competence, access to screening services, and knowledge-raising initiatives to help individuals navigate the UK healthcare system. CONCLUSIONS: These findings offer recommendations as to how healthcare systems can engage with diverse communities for meaningful reform within cancer screening programmes.
