Women to trial 'do-it-at-home' smear tests for NHS

Women to trial 'do-it-at-home' smear tests for NHS About 31,000 women in London are being offered "do-it-at-home" tests to check for early warnings of cervical cancer, as part of an NHS trial.

It could be a way to encourage more women to get screened, experts hope.

Embarrassment, cultural barriers and worries about Covid, along with many other factors, can stop women going for smear tests at a clinic or GP surgery. BBC News
