👩It’s sually done by a female nurse, or you can request one if you’d feel more comfortable

💚Most women and those born with a cervix experience no pain

🧬 It checks for high-risk HPV, which can cause cervical cancer, so it can save your life

🏥 Screening helps prevent cancer as well as identify signs of it

You’re not alone if you feel nervous: talk to your practice team, they’re there to help and support you throughout.
