From July, younger women (aged 25 to 49) who test negative for HPV, meaning they are at very low risk of cervical cancer over the next 10 years, will safely be invited every 5 years rather than every 3, in line with major clinical evidence.
This change is based on strong evidence showing that people without HPV are at very low risk of cervical cancer.
If you missed your last screening, book an appointment with the Practice Nurse either online or via reception. Thank you.
