Cervical Screening Programme Guidance

These webpages are primarily directed at health care professionals delivering the screening services that we commission.

If you are a member of the public seeking information about NHS screening or immunisation programmes please go to the NHS website or speak to your GP, practice nurse or other health care professional.

The purpose of this webpage is to make information more easily accessible to primary care professionals who provide immunisation services. Comprehensive information for all national screening and immunisation programmes is available on Population screening programmes: detailed information – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and Health Security Agency website.
