Cervical screening

This section gives information to help you understand how cervical screening is done, and what happens if you have an 'abnormal' test result.

We hope that it answers some of the questions you may have about cervical screening, and the treatment you may need if you have an abnormal test result.

We also have further information on cervical cancer.
