Please book your appointment when you are invited.
It's important that you attend your cervical screening appointment when invited, even if you've had the HPV vaccination. Cervical screening checks for high-risk types of the HPV virus and is the best way to find out who is at higher risk of developing the cell changes that could lead to cervical cancer. If you have received an invitation for cervical screening or missed your last screening, please don’t wait - book an appointment with your GP

This week is Cervical cancer prevention week.

Cervical cancer leads to approximately 685 deaths a year in England.

NHS England has pledged to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040 but to do that, everyone eligible needs to get the HPV vaccine and come forward for cervical screening (when invited).

HPV vaccinations are offered to children at school. The HPV vaccine helps protect against human papillomavirus (HPV). It's recommended for children aged 12 to 13 years old and people at higher risk from HPV. https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/hpv-vaccine/

Any patient aged between 16 and 24 who missed their HPV vaccination at school can book an appointment with their GP surgery for this vaccination.
