Smear tests: 'Five minutes could save your life' A woman diagnosed with cervical cancer after a smear test has urged everyone eligible to book regular screenings.
Invites are sent to women aged between 25 and 64, but NHS records showed 30% were not up-to-date with their tests.
Sophie Palmer, 35, from Northampton, was given the all-clear after a radical hysterectomy and was alarmed so many women were missing out on screening.
She said: "That's just crazy. It takes five minutes and it's five minutes that could save your life." BBC Northampton
