Cervical screening
The cervical screening test aims to pick up changes early that could develop into cervical cancer if left untreated.
The NHS cervical screening programme invites women between 25 and 64 for cervical screening. Cervical screening is also for anyone in this age range with a cervix, such as trans men and non-binary people assigned female at birth.
