Testing Materials

Picture 5 Picture 3 Picture 4

A range of prototype materials have been developed with the aim to promote earlier presentation of cancer symptoms. These prototypes were tested in a range of locations including Michelin Tyres, Portmeirion Potteries, Bradeley Village retirement home, and Longton Market Cafe. The materials were also presented to the Community Volunteers and Health Professionals to gather feedback and ideas.
The key objective for testing the prototypes was to gauge likeability, understanding, relevance and potential impact.

We spoke to 58 people in Stoke over 2 days which proved very useful for the development of the material. Lots of areas for improvement were highlighted, along with what is working well.

We are currently making tweaks and changes to the prototypes before we test again.

Positive Impact

The aim of this project is to:

promote earlier presentation of cancer symptoms, to facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment of breast and lung cancer.

But there has been an impact in another way too …

… Alan, one of the researchers from Uscreates, has been so inspired by his work on the project that he has decided to visit his local stop smoking service. Well done Alan!
