Your Choice
It’s your choice whether to have a cervical screening test. This information is here to help you make an informed decision.
Why does the NHS offer cervical screening?
Cervical screening helps prevent cervical cancer and saves up to 5,000 lives each year in the UK.
When will I be invited?
You’ll be invited for screening if you’re aged 25 to 64, as most cervical cancers develop within this age group. Invitations are sent:
Every 3 years for those aged 25 to 49
Every 5 years for those aged 50 to 64
