5 minutes of feeling a bit awkward could save your life, although there is absolutely no need to feel awkward or embarrassed as the nurse has seen it all before.
If you are due a smear test, call or pop in to make an appointment
Are you aged 25–29? When was your last cervical screening aka smear test?
Less than half of women aged 25-29 in GGC are attending smear test appointments when invited, even though it only takes a few minutes and could be lifesaving.
💬⚽To help normalise conversations of smear tests (and make them a lot less awkward!), we’ve teamed up with Glasgow City FC to encourage open, honest chats about why they matter. We'll be sharing more this week.
If you're due a smear test appointment, be sure to contact your GP to lock this in. And, next time you’re talking to your friends, encourage them to do the same!
