Cervical Screening Survey 2026
Cervical screening (previously called a smear test) checks the health of your cervix (the opening to your womb). It helps find problems early and prevent cervical cancer. It saves about 5,000 lives each year.
Everyone with a cervix aged 25 to 64 is invited for cervical screening every 5 years. You will be invited by letter, text message, or through the NHS App.
This survey asks about:
How you felt when you were invited
What encourages you to go for screening
What makes it difficult for you to go
How we can make screening easier and more comfortable
Your answers will help improve cervical screening in Essex and make it better for others.
The survey takes about 8 to 10 minutes to complete.
Your answers are anonymous (no one can identify you).
This survey closes on 23 April 2026.
Thank you for your contribution!
