It is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month!

Did you know your cervical screening could save your life?

NHS England has pledged to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040 – but attending screening when you’re invited is a vital part of making that happen.

Even if you’ve had the HPV vaccination, cervical screening is still very important!

👉 When invited, please, don’t delay and book your appointment as soon as you can

The HPV vaccine helps protect both boys and girls from several cancers caused by HPV – including cervical, a**l, ge***al, and head and neck cancers.

Since it was introduced in England, cases of HPV have dropped significantly, and the vaccine is expected to save hundreds of lives every year.

Please sign your child’s HPV vaccine consent form when you receive it.

❄️With colder temperatures and shorter days - plus all the coughs, colds and bugs doing the rounds - winter can be tough for us all.

Our NHS also comes under extra under pressure too so it’s more important than ever to know what to do and where to go if you’re feeling under the weather.
