Cervical Screening

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, but screening can help stop it before it starts. So don’t ignore your cervical screening invite and if you missed your last one, book an appointment with your GP practice now.

All women and people with a cervix aged 25-64 are eligible for cervical screening. In England, those registered as female with their GP practice will be invited for screening every three years if aged 25-49 and every five years if aged 50-64.

Those registered as male will need to request an appointment from their GP practice or a local sexual health clinic.
