Cervical Screening invites are changing.

Please be aware that from 1st July, most women and people with a cervix aged 25-49 who test HPV negative will be invited every 5 years, instead of 3.

HPV is the cause of most cervical cancers. If HPV isn't found during your screening, the risk of developing cancer is low, so screening can be safely done every 5 years.
