An NHS Lanarkshire consultant is encouraging women who have missed their last smear to contact their GP practice, as it could save their life.
The move comes during Cervical Screening Awareness Week, from June 20 to 26, which urges more women to have a smear test.
Cervical screening tests, also known as smear tests, now screen for the human papillomavirus (HPV) – the main cause of cervical cancer.
