17 November is Cervical Cancer Elimination Day of Action and this year the NHS in the South West is inviting the public to get involved and support the regions commitment to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.

Proportionally more people being diagnosed with cervical cancer in the South West when compared to the national rate of 2,700 people per year. To work towards the goal of eliminating cervical cancer, the NHS in the South West has outlined three goals to achieve over the next 5 years:

💉 Increase HPV vaccination rates to at least 90% for boys and girls
🚫 Halt the decline in cervical screening rates and increase the screening rate to at least 70% in the 25-49 cohort
🏥 Ensure at least 90% of women diagnosed with cervical disease receive treatment

As such, eligible people are being encouraged to take up the offer for free HPV vaccinations and cervical screening appointments, and we are asking everyone to raise awareness of the achievable goal of eliminating cervical cancer in our blog: https://www.england.nhs.uk/south/2025/11/12/how-you-can-help-the-south-west-eliminate-cervical-cancer/
