Cervical Screening Intervals
Extended cervical screening intervals for 24-49 year olds
From 1 July 2025, most women aged 25-49 who test negative for HPV – meaning they are at very low risk of developing cervical cancer over the next five years – will be invited at five-year intervals rather than three. This applies to samples taken on or after 1st July and next test due dates remain the same for any samples taken before this date. This change is backed by clinical evidence and a recommendation by the UK National Screening Committee.
