Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer, so it’s important to take up your invitation when it arrives.
If you’ve missed your cervical screening, the NHS may invite you to take an HPV self-test instead. If invited, you can order a kit, take your sample at home or somewhere private, and return it free by post.
You can’t opt in to HPV self-testing – if you’re eligible, the NHS will contact you.

There are 700,000 family carers for people living with dementia in the UK. Sixty-four percent of carers who are unpaid in England say they have limited support for the range of psychological and social needs they experience.

It can be difficult to keep communicating well, due to thinking and memory changes that arise when someone is living with dementia. This can lead to frustration, low-mood and stress for both people living with dementia and their carers.

The 6-session Empowered Conversations course is designed to enable carers to establish and maintain good communication and relationships with those they support. If you are interested, please e-mail the research team - [email protected] or contact a member of our reception team.
