Cervical screening toolkit

Description

This toolkit aims to address falling attendance rates and women’s poor understanding of the benefits of cervical screening. The information will help GPs, practice nurses and other practice staff to better understand what stops women attending (especially with vulnerable groups). It will also help staff to use tried and tested methods to increase attendance.
