Cervical screening

You can book to have your cervical screening appointment at:

  • your GP practice
  • some sexual health clinics
  • specialist clinics for cervical screening

If you have symptoms

As well as going for screening when you are invited, you still need to look out for any unusual changes to your body. Check for:

  • abnormal bleeding (such as bleeding between periods)
  • vaginal discharge that smells unpleasant
  • pain during sex

See your doctor if you notice anything unusual. There are many conditions that can cause these symptoms. Most of them are much more common than cervical cancer. But it is important to get your symptoms checked out.
