Understanding the barriers and facilitators to colonoscopy access in NSW - The University of Sydney

Understanding the barriers and facilitators to colonoscopy access in NSW

We are determining the facilitators and barriers to colonoscopy access in two regions in New South Wales – Western Sydney and Western NSW.

This will be done by conducting a survey and focus groups with people who need or have recently had a colonoscopy to ask them about their experiences with colonoscopy access. Based on these findings, we will determine key barriers and facilitators and identify potential strategies to improve colonoscopy access in NSW.
