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.
