Women who have not attended cervical screening appointments will from this week be offered free HPV self-testing kits.
The NHS scheme is intended to encourage more women to complete their potentially lifesaving screening.
Once used, the self-testing kit is posted back to the NHS for free, and if high-risk HPV is found, individuals will be invited to book a follow-up cervical screening appointment with their GP.
Eligible women will receive invitations to order the kit via the NHS App, text message, email or letter.

Coming up shortly, ‘Know Your Numbers! Week,’ which runs from September 7-13, is a national event encouraging everyone to check their blood pressure.
High blood pressure can have no obvious symptoms but if it remains untreated, it can increase your risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
Your pharmacy can check your blood pressure and advise you, and if a GP appointment is needed, contact your surgery.
