Dr Karin Hellner from the Nuffield Department of Women's & Reproductive Health leads the NHS Trust’s Colposcopy service which cares for approx 4k women a year who have experienced an abnormal smear or are referred for suspected cervical cancer. She says “The number of women attending life-saving smear tests is falling, Prevention Week is a really important way of engaging women with how they can reduce their risk of the disease and the steps they can take to look after their health“.
