The Earls Court Health and Wellbeing Centre is urging patients to book their smear test as part of this year’s national campaign as thousands of people could be missing out on potentially life-saving cervical screening.
The Centre, which is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, is part of West London Group Practices and run by AT Medics.
Data revealed by the Department of Health and Social Care shows embarrassment was the most common reason for not booking a screening appointment (42%) and almost two-thirds (63%) said they were nervous when they did attend.
The screening is a free NHS health test that can help prevent cervical cancer which in the UK, ranks 19th among female cancer deaths.
Sarah Benge, practice manager at Earls Court Health and Wellbeing Centre, tells why it’s important to continue campaigning and raising awareness on cervical screening.
“We here at Earls Court Health and Wellbeing Centre, are driven and passionate to provide cancer awareness and early detection for better health outcomes for our patients.
“A key way to prevent cervical cancer is via cervical screening, the few minutes that it takes to take cervical screening could save your life. It can help us identify who is more at risk at developing the HPV virus and potentially save thousands of lives.
“To tackle these barriers and help drive uptake we’ve created a video which we think with help women aged 25 to 64 to better understand how to access, book appointments and the important need to respond to an invite for cervical screening.”
