In Southwark, women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 49 years old are invited for cervical screening every 3 years.
If you’re aged 50 to 64 you’re invited for cervical screening every 5 years.
If you haven't received an invitation letter but are due for screening, contact your GP.
You can ask for a female nurse if you prefer when booking your appointment.
If you need additional support, you can ask for a double-length appointment or other reasonable adjustments. You can ask for additional support if, for example, you have:
- a learning disability
- autism
- severe mental illness
