Cervical screening is not a test for cancer, but a method for preventing cancer by detecting and treating early abnormalities which, if left untreated, could (over a period of years) lead to cancer in a woman's cervix. Cervical screening saves as many as 5,000 lives a year in the UK.
All women aged 25 to 64 who are registered with a GP, are automatically invited for free cervical cancer screening every three years.
Women aged 25-49 are invited for a second screening every three years, while women aged 50 to 65 are invited every five years.
Appointments can be made directly with your GP practice. Women will be asked to make the appointment themselves and can request to have their sample taken by a woman.
