How to take part in Read My Lips on social media in memory of Vicky Phelan

Spread the message Vicky was so passionate about and use your own platform to encourage the women in your life to get a cervical screening test

Read My Lips: Choose screening - book a cervical screening test today in honour of Vicky Phelan.

The Irish Examiner would like to invite you to participate in a special cervical screening initiative in memory of Vicky Phelan.

Trailblazing campaigner Vicky Phelan wanted women to be proactive about their health.  She had plans to spearhead a 'Read My Lips' call-to-action promoting cervical screening in association with the Irish Examiner, but sadly time was not on her side.  

As we approach Vicky's first anniversary on November 14, we join forces with high-profile Irish women, including sports broadcaster Jacqui Hurley, TV presenter Muireann O'Connell, beauty entrepreneur Aimee Connolly, authors Sarah Breen and Emer McLysaght, lecturer and GP Sumi Dunne, and 221+ founding member Lorraine Walsh to realise her wish.

Their key message is 'Read My Lips: Choose screening - book a cervical screening test today.'  

To take part in the Read My Lips initiative in memory of Vicky Phelan:

• Open your phone camera, switch to the front-facing camera and select video.
• Film yourself putting on lipstick.
• Post this video using the hashtag #ReadMyLips, urging viewers to 'Choose screening - book a cervical screening test today.'
•  Tag @irishexaminerlifestyle on Instagram so we can reshare your message.

In memory of Vicky Phelan, seven high-profile Irish women get behind a special cervical screening initiative. Their call to action is 'Read my lips... choose screening - book a cervical screening test today.'
