NHS England offers HPV self-testing kits to women who have missed screening.
NHS England is providing HPV self-testing kits to women who have not attended cervical screening appointments. This is a national program with plans to send nearly 4 million invites over the next year. The rollout is just beginning, and the 4 million figure refers to planned invites, not completed tests.
Why it matters
This addresses low cervical screening rates by offering a more convenient option for women who do not attend in-person appointments.
