Cervical Cancer Prevention Week | 19–25 January 2026

This week is all about raising awareness, starting conversations, and empowering everyone with a cervix to take charge of their health.

Cervical screening saves lives.

It’s a quick test that can detect early changes long before they become cancer. If you’ve received your screening invitation — or if you’re overdue — this is your reminder to book your appointment.

We know screenings can feel uncomfortable or worrying, but you’re never alone.

Let’s break the stigma, share information, and encourage the people we care about to get screened.

We’re making communication easier!

To keep you updated with appointment reminders, important notices, and helpful information, we’re moving to a new text‑message system.

Before we can send anything, we need your consent.

Please scan the QR code below to give your permission to receive text messages.

It only takes a moment and helps us stay connected with you more efficiently.

Thank you for helping us improve our service!
