This leaflet provides information about cervical screening and the Northern Ireland Cervical Screening Programme. It explains how screening is carried out, who is eligible for screening, what happens at a screening appointment, and how screening samples are processed. It also covers screening test results and the risks and benefits of taking part in the screening programme.
Cervical screening is not a check for other cancers of the reproductive system, such as ovary, womb, vulval or vaginal cancer.
Do not wait to contact a GP if you have any concerns.
