\n \n\n \n \nCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death worldwide, and early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes. However, recent studies have shown that there is a gender bias in the diagnosis of CVDs, with women being less likely to receive timely and accurate diagnoses than men.

\n \n \nDigital health disparities disproportionately affect marginalised women, making it challenging for them to access healthcare services. These women may face multiple hurdles such as lack of accessibility to digital technologies, gaps in language and translation support, low health and digital literacy, dismissive attitudes of healthcare providers, and the adverse impact other aspects of social policy have on their health and ability to access care.

\n \n\n \n \nA team led by researchers at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford is seeking to develop a new \u2018Risk calculator\u2019 that will help clinicians decide which patients should be offered further tests for cancer, based on changes in their symptoms and test results. To help us with our research, we are looking for patient and members of the public to join our team as patient and public representatives.
