“This is great news for everyone eligible for cervical screening. We know that screening saves lives however there are many people who have not participated because the current screening process is not acceptable to them”
“The name change is important in underlining the complexity of the condition and helping us recognise its individualised nature”
“General practice nurses (GPNs) are the 'backbone' of sexual and reproductive healthcare in England.”
“There isn't standardised training for nurses to deliver sexual and reproductive health, there's no requirement to do a module on women's health.”
“GPN's are pivotal in advising women on their choices, providing information and managing side effects. Increasingly, GPNs are widening access to contraception through their roles as LARC [Long-Acting Reversible Contraception] fitters, trainers and prescribers.”
“'simple adjustments can make all the difference' in easing the range of anxieties that cervical screening can trigger”
