Cervical screening
All people with a cervix aged 25–70, who have been sexually active, should have regular screening to protect against cervical cancer.
Cervical screenings are a key preventative measure against developing cervical cancer. The test screens for abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix. Because these changes happen slowly, regular screenings mean there's a high likelihood that any abnormal cells will be found and treated before they become cancer.
The best time to have a screening is after your last menstrual period. To have your screening with a nurse, book an appointment with Student Health.
The cervical screening start age is 25. Find out more at Time to screen.
