This week is Cervical Screening Awareness Week.

Cervical screening saves thousands of lives each year – and takes just around 10 minutes or less.

All women aged 25 to 64 are invited for cervical screening every 5 years. The test checks for cell changes in your cervix. Caught early, these can be treated before they become something more serious.

You’re in control throughout — you can ask questions, request a smaller speculum, try a different position, or pause or stop the test at any time.

Make your appointment when you get invited. Missed your last appointment?

Contact your GP practice to book another.

Blood in your p*e can be a sign of bladder or kidney cancer in both men and women. And any shade of red could be a warning sign – so don’t wait for bright red. Because the sooner we spot cancer, the easier it is to treat. If there’s blood in your p*e, call your GP.

Sunburn doesn’t just happen on holiday. Even in the UK you can get burnt between March and October, so it’s important to protect your skin at home too. Use at least SPF30 suncream, cover up and spend time in the shade.

Take extra care in the sun if you:
Have freckles or red or fair hair
Tend to burn rather than tan
Have many moles
Are only exposed to intense sun occasionally (for example, while on holiday)
Are in a hot country where the sun is particularly intense
Have a personal or family history of skin cancer

Moles are small, coloured spots on the skin. Most people have them and they’re usually nothing to worry about. Check if your mole could be cancerous using our ABCDE check list. Swipe across!

A – Asymmetry

B – Border

C – Colour

D – Diameter

E – Evolution

Please remember:

See a GP if:

you have a mole that’s changed size, shape or colour
you have a mole that’s painful or itchy
you have a mole that’s inflamed, bleeding or crusty
you have a new or unusual mark on your skin that has not gone away after a few weeks
Finding a melanoma as early as possible can mean it’s easier to treat.
