15th – 21st June- Cervical Screening Awareness Week

This week is Cervical Screening Awareness Week. Nearly 1 in 3 people don’t attend their cervical screening, but it’s so important to go when you’re invited. We know it can feel uncomfortable or cause anxiety, and it’s completely normal to feel nervous, but it usually only takes a few minutes and could save your life Cervical screening (sometimes called a smear test) checks the cells of your cervix the lower part of the womb. It helps spot any changes early, so they can be monitored or treated before they develop into cancer. Please make sure you book your appointment when invited
