Cervical Cancer Prevention Week

 

Cervical Cancer Prevention Week is coming!

 

Starting on the 18th of January, this week aims to help women and people with cervixes learn about how to reduce their risk of cervical cancer and prevent the illness. One way to reduce the risk of this disease is through cervical screening (a smear test). This week is a great opportunity to increase the number of people attending their test by raising awareness of its importance.

 

Some great, free posters on this can be found here: Cervical screening and cervical abnormalities | Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust (jostrust.org.uk)  This link also contains information leaflets and booklets that can be printed and displayed on websites or in waiting areas.
