We were proud to support the Everywoman Pop Up Festival in Edinburgh, helping spark open conversations about women’s health.
With Cervical Screening Awareness Week next week (15–21 June), it’s a timely reminder of the importance of discussing cervical health, HPV vaccination and screening.
Dr Kirsty Roy, Consultant in Health Protection, Dr Kate Cuschieri, Director of the HPV Reference Laboratory, and Karen Hobbs, comedian and cervical cancer survivor, delivered the session “Cervix with a Smile”.
It brought together expertise, lived experience and humour to break down stigma around cervical screening and HPV vaccination and encourage more people to attend screening.
