WG 4 meeting Brussels

A key challenge for #CUPID is the lack of systematic knowledge across the EU about the degree that cancer prevention strategies are responsive to the unique cognitive and healthcare needs of people with

intellectual disabilities and their human right to healthcare. To improve understanding of cancer prevention with and among people with intellectual disabilities CUPID will bring together interdisciplinary stakeholders representing carers, service providers, advocacy groups, educators, healthcare professionals, researchers and people with intellectual disabilities to explore these issues in terms of what needs to be addressed and how. CUPID will share collaborative learning with robust review that is structured to accommodate the needs of collaborators with intellectual disabitlies in the development of systematic knowledge. In this regard, knowledge generation will be responsive to the unique cognitive and healthcare needs of people with intellectual disabilities throughout all goals and objectives of the Action.
