Cervical Screening Awareness Week

From 15th-21st June 2026

Did you know that cervical cancer is the most preventable cancer? Cervical screening can help identify changes in your cervix and the cells, before cervical cancer starts, yet nearly 1 in 3 don’t attend their cervical screening.

To mark Cervical Screening Awareness Week (Monday 15th to Sunday 21st June), Macmillan Cancer Support answers some frequently-asked questions about cervical cancer. The charity also has an online booklet called ‘Understanding cervical screening‘.

Read more about the tests and treatments for gynaecological cancers – including cervical cancer – at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.
