The motion

That the Parliament congratulates NHS Forth Valley on winning the Care for Mental Health Award at the Scottish Health Awards 2022; understands that this was awarded for the development of a trauma-informed cervical screening project, which was implemented by the dedicated staff from NHS Forth Valley the Meadows and the psychological therapies team; understands that the trauma-informed cervical screening project has been developed to meet the needs of vulnerable women across Forth Valley by removing barriers through an understanding of trauma to facilitate access to what it sees as such essential screening for women, who have lived experience of sexual trauma; further understands that this service aims to be sensitive and responsive to identify those who may need such additional support to increase uptake of cervical screening, improve the experience of women, avoid re-traumatisation and to identify any health changes early enough to improve outcomes for women; recognises the contribution of Resilience Learning Partnership towards the development of this project, ensuring, it understands, that the voice of women with lived experience of such trauma fed into the process throughout; congratulates all those involved with the development and implementation of a trauma-informed cervical screening project from NHS Forth Valley and Resilience Learning Partnership for their well-deserved award, and wishes them well for the future.
