December 2019 marks two years since the introduction of the National Cervical Screening Program therefore, all women should have had a screening under the new system and now be in the new Program. The tagline this year is “5 minutes of your time, for 5 years peace of mind”. Reminding women that if they haven’t already done so, to put themselves first and make sure they are up-to-date with their cervical screening.
