Claire Smith, from the NHS’s Mid Cheshire Community Services, will be at the event and said she wanted to encourage more Gypsy and traveller women to access healthcare.
She said many do not attend screenings because of “previous stigma” or of past experiences of the NHS “getting it wrong”.
“What we need to do is to really break down those barriers and say ‘this is what we can offer you, it’s not as frightening as you think’,” Smith said.
“People only know what we know and sometimes that wrong information can really create those barriers.”
The Pride of Romany Women’s Empowerment Day will take place at Nantwich Civic Hall from 10:00 to 16:00 BST.
