Cervical screening is a test to check the health of the cervix and help prevent cervical cancer. It used to be called a smear test. It is offered to women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64. Between February and April 2025, we collected the views of 294 people from Derbyshire and Derby City about cervical screening. We did this through an online survey. The survey was done alongside 11 semi-structured interviews.

Experiences and views of support services for people living at home with an enteral tube, it's time to listen and take action

Source:

British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN)

Date:

August 2025

Details:

Drawing on the results of a nationwide survey of people and their carers living at home with an enteral tube, this report shines a light on both practical and personal challenges - from training quality and equipment provision - to confidence building, emotional adjustment, and the need for consistent, joined-up care. Based on these insights, the report outlines six key recommendations to improve the transition from hospital to home, ensuring that home enteral nutrition (HEN) patients receive the right support at the right time.
