"It's important that you attend cervical screening when invited, it can save your life"

We're in a race to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.

Cervical Screening (formally known as a smear test)
 
is a free NHS health test that is offered to women and all people with a cervix between the ages of 25 to 64. It helps prevent cervical cancer by checking for human papillomavirus (HPV) which can be passed through forms of sexual contact.

Currently across London, only 58% of 25 to 49-year-olds attend cervical screening, with the attendance significantly higher for 50 to 64-year-olds at 70%.

Together we can eliminate cervical cancer. Athletes Erin Kennedy MBE (Rowing) and Donna Fraser OBE (Athletics) have joined forces following their own cancer experience to share their stories and encourage others to attend cervical screening.

The South East London Cancer AllianceNorth Central London Cancer AllianceNorth East London Cancer Alliance, RM Partners NW & SW London Cancer Alliance are working to improve early cancer diagnosis and treatment for patients in London.

Don't Miss Out, this is a life-saving test, when invited: #GetScreenedNow

We’re debunking misconceptions about cervical screening

We have teamed up with Bake Off Star Laura Adlington and GP Dr Nighat in a series of videos to discuss the link between sex and cervical cancer and debunk the common misconceptions about cervical screening.
