Cervical Screening Changes Posted or Updated on 23 Jun 2025

Last week NHS England announced changes to the cervical screening programme, moving screening intervals for those who haven’t had high-risk HPV found recently from three to five years for all eligible ages. This brings England in line with Scotland and Wales, who were already screening every five years.
