Have you been invited for cervical screening?
♥ We’d love to hear from you! ♥
Cervical screening (previously known as a smear test) checks the health of your cervix and helps prevent cervical cancer. It saves around 5,000 lives every year.
Everyone with a cervix aged 25 to 64 is invited for screening every 5 years. Invitations are sent by letter, text message, or through the NHS App.
We’re running a short survey to understand:

How you felt when you received your screening invitation
What helps or motivates you to attend
What makes attending difficult
How we can make screening easier, more comfortable, and more accessible

Your feedback will help improve cervical screening services across Ess*x and support others in getting the care they need.
The survey takes around 8–10 minutes to complete.

Getting tested for STIs regularly keeps you and other people safe 💜

Aside from using a barrier method like condoms, regular STI testing is the best way to prevent the spread of STIs.

The sooner you get tested, the sooner you can get treatment if you do test positive.

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The symptoms of ovarian cancer can be vague, and can be linked to other less serious conditions. See your doctor if you have changes that are unusual for you or won't go away. In most cases, it won’t be cancer, but if it is, getting diagnosed early can make all the difference.
