The new Your guide to NHS cervical screening information leaflet

A physical copy of a new leaflet; Your guide to NHS cervical screening, will now be enclosed with screening invitation letters. It is available on the government website with signposting included in digital invitations.  

It has been produced in collaboration with key stakeholders to improve readability and accessibility. This included extensive stakeholder feedback, alongside direct patient testing. 30 new translations are available, and a British Sign Language (BSL) video will be published in due course.  

The new leaflet reflects the extended cervical screening intervals, which applied from 1 July. Screening services are asked to stop using any remaining stock of the old Helping you decide and please transition immediately to the new Your guide to NHS cervical screening leaflet.
