Cervical Screening Take Up: Recommended Improvement Actions

Wessex NHS England and Improvement Public Health Commissioning produced these recommended actions with Cancer Research UK and Wessex Voices (Healthwatch Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton) to improve the take up of cervical screening locally and nationally. They result from the work of the local Public Health Team, CRUK visits to GP practices, and public involvement created via Wessex Voices’ work with the team. These recommendations have been shared with NHS England and Sustainability and Transformation Partnership colleagues, GP practices and CCGs across Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and the national Public Health screening programmes to consider and implement. The Public Health Team will continue to monitor cervical screening take up to see if there are improvements to take up.
