Cervical Cancer Awareness Month - St Helens
January is cervical cancer awareness month and St Helens Public Health team would like to take this opportunity to promote a free cervical screening service coming to community locations within the borough.
Following a successful pilot in Sefton, a mobile clinic will be available in the form of a bus for people to be able to have their cervical screening appointments. It is hoped that this removes barriers for women and makes screening appointments more accessible.
