Craigavon Travllers Support Committee - Projects: Health

We have been successful in accessing the Building the Community Pharmacy Partnership monies and as part of this have been able to offer a health programme for the local Traveller women in partnership with our local Pharmacy.

CTSC is involved in the All Ireland Traveller Health Study and as part of this we have a co-ordinator from the project who has recruited 4 Travellers women to become peer researchers. The peer researchers will work in partnership with CTSC and conduct the research with local Traveller women to feed into the all Ireland health study. For more information on the All Ireland Health Study please visit www.ucd.ie.
