Cervical Check could offer home HPV test as part of screening 

A proposal to add a self-sampling HPV test to the Cervical Check programme was received in December, and is under “ongoing consideration”, the committee’s work programme update states.

The Cervical Check programme could offer a home test for HPV as part of its screening process, under a move being considered by the National Screening Advisory Committee (NSAC).

Widening the lower age limits for Bowelscreen testing to 50 instead of 55, and for Breastcheck to 45 from 50 years of age is also being considered.
