Important information regarding the Cervical Screening Programme

From 1st July, most woman and people with a cervix aged 25-49 who test HPV negative will be invited every 5 years instead of 3.

The NHS Cervical Screening Programme has also introduced digital invitations and reminders via the NHS App. Eligible people will now receive screening invitations and reminders through the NHS App when they’re due. For those where a digital invitation isn’t possible, a letter will be posted as a backup. All invitations will guide participants to book appointments in the usual way. We would encourage everyone to download the NHS App:

www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/ and enable notifications.
