Cervical Screening Programme Update
Posted on:
NHS England announced it will be updating its cervical screening programme so that eligible 25 to 49-year-olds are invited every five years instead of every three years if their routine screening (sometimes known as a smear test) shows they do not have HPV.
The change, which will come into effect from July, follows recommendations from the UK National Screening Committee, an independent body of experts who review screening evidence and advise the four UK governments. Scotland and Wales made the same change in 2020 and 2022 respectively.
