Hello, my name is Charlotte Nutting.
I am a PhD research student and a registered Learning Disability Nurse and Social Worker.
I am sharing information about a new research project.
The research is about: What Radiotherapy is like for people with Learning Disabilities who have cancer, and the family members, paid carers and professionals who support them.
‘Radiotherapy’ is a treatment that is used to treat cancer. It uses strong x-rays to kill cancer cells.
I am recruiting people in England to interviews for this research project.
I would like to interview people with Learning Disabilities who have or have had cancer to find out about:
- how they were involved in making decisions about Radiotherapy.
- their experiences of Radiotherapy.
- how they were supported after Radiotherapy.
I would also like to interview paid carers, family members and professionals to find out about: their experiences supporting people who have Learning Disabilities and cancer with Radiotherapy.
To find out more: you can look at the easy read poster and information sheet in this post.
