Last week we were joined by GeneEQUAL for their Share to Care Co-Production Workshop.

We gave feedback about how we would like our genetic information used and shared for research.

We talked about what we like and what we don’t like.

We talked about the rules we would like to see to keep our genetic information safe.

We also shared or experiences with the healthcare system.

We shared both our positive and negative experiences with healthcare workers, and how those experiences have impacted us.

We made suggestions about what needs to be improved to make healthcare a more accessible and positive experience for people with intellectual disability.
