Women 24 or Younger in England - Cervical Screening Booking Issues

**Have you had a problem booking your first cervical screening appointment?** I’m a journalist investigating women’s experiences of booking their first cervical screening appointment in England. I’m particularly interested in hearing from women who: • received their first NHS cervical screening invitation before turning 25 • tried to book an appointment before their 25th birthday • were told by their GP surgery that they had to wait until they were 25 • subsequently received a reminder or message saying their screening was overdue But I’d also like to hear from anyone who experienced difficulties booking their first screening appointment, even if your experience was different. If this happened to you in 2025 or 2026, please DM me with your age, roughly when you received your invitation, what happened when you tried to book, and which part of the UK you live in. You don't need to share any medical information, and please don't post personal details publicly. I may ask to speak to you confidentially about your experience. Email: [email redacted]
