Answer: This is the answer.
Cervical screening (a smear test) is a test to check the health of the cervix and help prevent cervical cancer.
The smear test checks the health of your cervix. The cervix is the opening of your womb from your vagina. It is not a test for cancer. It is a test to help prevent cancer. All women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64 should be invited for a smear test.
You will be sent an invitation letter in the post when it is time to book your cervical screening appointment.
Your invitation letter will tell you where you can go for cervical screening and how to book. Most cervical screening is done in a GP surgery by a female nurse or doctor.
