Cervical screening can determine whether you have human papillomavirus (HPV) and changes in your cells that could go on to develop into cancer if left untreated. If you are aged between 25 and 64 it's important to book and attend for screening when invited.

If at any time you feel something isn't right, don’t wait, contact your GP.

Visit www.pha.site/cervicalscreening for more info.

📢 Are your contact details up to date with your GP Surgery?

📧NHS England is now sending some screening invitations digitally to patients with a mobile number or the NHS App. This will soon become more common, meaning you could receive screening invites (cervical, breast, AAA, bowel, etc.), hospital appointments, immunisation invites, and even results straight to your phone or app.

✅ Make sure your contact details are correct with us – this updates them across the whole NHS so you won’t miss anything important.

💻 Update via the surgery website or speak to reception today.

August is Appendix Cancer Awareness Month
Appendix cancer is rare but knowing the signs could lead to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.

These symptoms are often vague, which is why listening to your body and speaking to your GP if something feels off is so important.

Early detection saves lives. Let’s raise awareness this August 💛
