Every day in the UK, 2 women lose their lives to cervical cancer and 9 more receive a life-changing diagnosis.
Cervical Cancer Prevention Week is an opportunity to raise awareness on the risks of cervical cancer, and help women and people with cervixes learn about how to reduce these risks and prevent the illness.
It’s vital that you are:
Attending cervical screening when invited; knowing the symptoms of cervical cancer and seeking medical advice if experiencing and encouraging others to do so; knowing where to find support and further information.
Find out more about cervical cancer on the NHS website Cervical cancer – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
See Cervical Cancer Prevention Week | Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust (jostrust.org.uk) for more information on how to get involved in the 2023 campaign
We are again reminding patients to please get your cervical smears booked in if you are overdue!
If you’re unsure when you last had one, or if you’re of the right age please ring on, 01782 276999, and speak with a member of the Audley Reception Team who will be able to see if you are due a smear test.
