Millions of women offered free NHS home cervical cancer tests
Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleMillions of women in England who have missed cervical screening appointments are to be offered free at-home self-testing kits on the NHS. Eligible women aged between 30 and 65 will receive invitations via the NHS app, text message, email or letter to order a kit online. The kits contain a swab to collect a vaginal sample at home, which is then posted free of charge to NHS laboratories to test for high-risk HPV. Latest figures show only 68.8 per cent of eligible women are up to date with their cervical screening, below the NHS target of 80 per cent. The scheme aims to encourage wider participation as part of the NHS target to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.
