Cervical Cancer Prevention Week runs from 20 to 26 January, raising awareness of cervical screening and HPV vaccination. It encourages everyone eligible to take up their invitations.
When is Cervical Cancer Prevention Week?
Cervical Cancer Prevention Week takes place in January (January 20-26). It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause — see the full calendar.
Why Cervical Cancer Prevention Week matters
Cervical cancer is largely preventable through screening and vaccination, yet attendance has fallen and barriers and anxiety keep many away. The week saves lives by getting people the facts and reassurance they need. Explore health & well-being volunteering.
How to get involved in Cervical Cancer Prevention Week
There are three simple ways to make Cervical Cancer Prevention Week count:
