Cancer Screening – National Programmes

Cervical Smear

We work together with NHS England and Islington (NCL) CCG to help develop the NHS Cervical Screening Programme. This includes invited female patients between the ages of 25 and 65 to have regular screening in order to identify early signs of cervical cancer. We would like to encourage everyone eligible to attend as screening can save lives.

Invites are usually done by sending a text message reminder but you may also receive a letter in the post from us. NHS England routinely sends out invite letters to your address so please respond. If you would not like to receive these invites, you will need to sign and return a Disclaimer form: Cervical Smear Disclaimer Form.

There are easy-to-read guides about cervical cancer screening, explaining the process and the results. The following links open a pdf file.
