UK NSC consults on offering HPV self-sampling option to under-screened people in cervical screening programme

The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) is consulting on the following recommendation:

Self-sampling for HPV testing should be offered to under-screened people eligible for the NHS Cervical Screening Programme in the 4 UK countries, where service commissioners think self-sampling would be a helpful addition to the programme.

If implemented, the HPV self-sampling option would be offered to under-screened people alongside traditional clinician-collected sampling by a nurse or doctor.
