NHS Cervical Screening Programme

More information

The NHS Cervical Screening Programme (NHS CSP) invites women aged 25 to 50 for screening every three years and those aged 50 to 64 every five years. The programme aims to prevent cervical cancer by detecting and treating cervical abnormalities before they cause problems.

Note that cancer screening programme management in England comes under the remit of the NHS Cancer Screening Programmes rather than the UK National Screening Committee.
