From today, NHS England is rolling out HPV self-testing kits for women who have fallen behind on their cervical screening.

The free kits can be used at home, making it easier for more women to complete potentially lifesaving checks to help prevent cervical cancer.

Eligible women will start receiving invitations today, so check your phone, your email or your post to see if you qualify.

If you're invited, you'll be able to order a free kit through the NHS App or your NHS online account, and get back on track with protecting yourself against cervical cancer.

Meningitis is serious, and young people are most at risk. Outbreaks can happen in places where people live, study and socialise closely, such as schools and university halls.
🎓⚠️ Going to uni this year? Make sure you're up to date with your vaccines, aware of the time-limited MenB vaccine offer, and know the symptoms of meningitis.
