Did you know your cervical screening could save your life?

Cervical screening helps prevent cervical cancer by detecting HPV and abnormal cells, which can then be treated if needed.

When invited by the NHS, book your appointment.

Let’s Make Cervical Cancer History

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and together with NHS England, we’re aiming high: eradicate cervical cancer by 2040.

How? By increasing HPV vaccination and boosting cervical screening (smear test) uptake for anyone with a cervix aged 25–64.

We’re committed to improving access, breaking down barriers like fear and trauma, and making screening something everyone feels safe and supported to do.

Help us spread the word!

Share our latest campaign slides with your teams, service users, and local communities. Every chat, every share, every moment of awareness could help save a life.

Pressed for time?

You can still make a big impact—simply follow, like, and share Answer Cancer’s social media posts throughout the month.

Together, let’s raise awareness.
