Such incredible news & shows how impt the #HPV vaccine is, so that (along with #CervicalScreening), one day #CervicalCancer can be eliminated. Congrats to everyone involved but of course a biased extra shout out to my amazing former @JoTrust colleagues.

It's been a long time since I tweeted anything, but after the onslaught of the 'COVID reality' I think I'm finally ready to get back to my original mission of trying to raise awareness about the side effects of the #lletz procedure that doctors didn't warn me about
Too many menopausal women are avoiding cervical screening due to pain as a result of vaginal dryness and are missing out on effective treatments. More information here https://t.co/PyvwtfL1Rf @carolynharris24@LizEarleMe@balanceMeno
As a campaign for informed consent we are disgusted to see The Vagina Museum offering a pop up vaccination centre and reduced entrance fee in return for getting jabbed. This is not how informed consent works. So disappointing to see.
POP UP VACCINE CENTRE TODAY 17th JULY AT @camdenmarket! Free for anyone 18+, first or second dose (after 8 wks), first floor of the Provender building, just around the corner from us. If you get jabbed today, show your vaccine card for a discount at the VM and many other stalls!
Just been speaking to a journalist who had the LLETZ herself. Dear doctors, if you don’t want the truth to come out you need to stop performing the procedure on those who write for a living 😉This is how we heal from your butchery.
@MattHancock In other countries like Sweden smear tests are done at home. Personal.y I haven’t seen any good evidence to persuade me to have any more smear tests after being injured by a cervical procedure with zero informed consent but this may be a good move for survivors of sexual violence
@ForkingFabulous@MattHancock Shame there’s actually no informed consent for cervical procedures! The whole screening programme needs an update. They are destroying the lives of thousands and not admitting the side effects. #informedconsent
Over 31,000 women will be offered kits to carry out smear tests in the privacy & convenience of their own homes in a trial.
Cervical screening is life-saving, so this is a great step forward

Guidelines about lletz side effects have now changed to give a fuller picture of the risks. A rare piece of good news! Hopefully they’ll be more and cervical nerves will actually be studied properly! Thanks @RCObsGyn https://t.co/5jg54LwqdD
This is good news and well presented, the visual is useful and also the key questions to ask. Will @RCObsGyn be doing something similar for the updated #hysteroscopy information?
