HPV self-testing for under-screened
The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) has recommended that women and people with a cervix who never or rarely attend their routine cervical screening appointments can be offered an HPV self-sampling test option. The NHS Cervical Screening Programme will now accelerate its plans to roll out this option from early 2026. A Q&A for cervical screening staff is available on FutureNHS (login required).
