YOUSCREEN Cervical Screening Study

Posted on December 3rd, 2021

This practice is taking part in the YouScreen research study run by King’s College London. YouScreen is a research study that will offer women and people with a cervix in north and east London the opportunity to take a self-sample for cervical screening. The YouScreen kit allows women to take their own sample for cervical screening using a vaginal swab (like a long cotton bud). It is free, easy to use and can be taken at a time and place that is convenient. You do not need to be examined or to have an appointment. Most women find it comfortable and pain free. The sample collected will be tested for human papillomavirus (HPV) at the laboratory. For more information visit the website https://www.smallc.org.uk/get-involved/get-involved-youscreen/
