Co-design strategies and recommendations to address colonoscopy access in NSW

We are identifying potential strategies and recommendations to improve colonoscopy access in NSW.

This will be done through conducting co-design workshops with consumers
and health care professionals. Participants will be asked about their views on addressing previously identified colonoscopy access barriers and facilitators, in order to improve access across the state. Following the workshop a stakeholder consultation will be conducted to develop and refine specific recommendations for action.
