This information leaflet aims to help make sure cervical screening is equally accessible to women who have a learning disability or who struggle with written English. The content of the easy guide is based on the information in our standard national leaflet. We have made it easier to read by writing in clear, simple sentences and using photos and other artwork to illustrate each important message. The new resource is called the ‘Having a Smear Test’ easy read guide because service users with learning disabilities told us that they understand the term ‘smear test’ much better than the term ‘cervical screening’. The easy guide explains: •why the NHS offers cervical screening •what to expect on the day of the test •the possible benefits and risks of accepting the offer of cervical screening Cervical screening reduces the number of deaths from cervical cancer by finding potentially harmful cells before they become cancerous, ensuring women get the right treatment as soon as possible. Evidence shows that eligible women with a learning disability are less likely to have cervical screening compared to women without a learning disability. This leaves them at risk of undetected cervical cancer.Common conditions covered by a Pap Test
