Cervical Screening Awareness

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer amongst women under 35, but screening can help stop it before it starts. Protect yourself - attend your cervical screening. Cervical screening saves lives.

All women and people with a cervix between the ages of 25 and 64 should go for regular cervical screening. You'll get a letter in the post inviting you to make an appointment.

When you should be invited for cervical screening

This is based on your age, as follows:

  • Under 25 years of age: up to 6 months before you turn 25

  • 25 to 49 years of age: every 3 years

  • 50 to 64 years of age: every 5 years

  • 65+ years of age: Only if 1 of your last 3 tests was abnormal

If you have previously received an invite letter but not yet booked in please call the surgery on 01926 810939 to make an appointment.
