NHS Cervical Screening Programme – Changes from 1st July 2025.

Now that we have a better test for HPV, how often people need to have cervical screening is changing in England from 1st July 2025. Women and people with a cervix aged 25-49 years who test HPV negative - meaning they are at very low risk of cervical cancer over the next 10 years - will be invited every 5 years instead of every 3.

Eligible people can now receive cervical screening invitations and reminders via the NHS App. To get these, please download the NHS App and make sure your notifications are switched on. Find out more https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app If you don’t wish to use the App, the NHS will attempt to contact you by text message or letter so, don’t worry, you won’t miss an invitation. From July 2025, most people who test HPV negative, will receive an invitation in 5 years’ time, instead of 3.

Breast screening

Had an invite for breast screening? Make sure you mark the date in your diary! Regular breast screening is one of the best ways to spot a cancer that’s too small to feel or see yourself. It saves around 1,300 lives each year in the UK! https://campaignresources.dhsc.gov....help-you-cancer/breast-screening-saves-lives/
