The national cervical screening programme will restart next week. If you are due a screening test, you can book an appointment from Wednesday 27th May. Please note that these appointments will be available on Wednesdays and Fridays initially, and can only be booked on the day.
We have been alerted by Public Health England of a possible scam concerning cervical screening. There are reports of some women being contacted by text message, claiming to be from the screening test call and recall service, advising patients that they are overdue for cervical screening. The message asks recipients to call a mobile number and provide personal details. These messages are not from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme and are a scam.
