This is incorrect and misleading. This is not cervical screening, and is not a smear test, and is not a replacement for a smear test. It's self-sampling for HPV from a vaginal swab.

Spot the difference.... delighted to take part in an interview on BBC breakfast this morning with my colleague. We are both Professors and Consultant ENT surgeons.....why don’t we get treated in the same way?

A paper proposing that the under-representation of women in surgical roles is due in part to a perceived gender-incongruence. It considers women's roles as caregivers and calls on professional bodies to advocate for pregnant women and enable to practice.

On artist Paula Rego’s 86th birthday seems a fitting time to acknowledge her powerful, uncomfortable response to a referendum to legalise abortion in Portugal in 1998 that was defeated. More info here https://t.co/z5cokHytWF

Proud to remember Sophia Jex-Blake, an eminent member of the Edinburgh Seven and a pioneer for women in medicine. A role model to generations of female doctors!

With the lowest rates of C19 vaccine uptake being reported in young women citing fertility concerns @RCObsGyn state there is no evidence to support this. They take a more cautious approach in pregnant women however even this is not a contraindication to vaccine in vulnerable ppl.

[BBC Woman's Hour @BBCWomansHour]

In a recent survey more than a quarter of 18-to- 34-year-old women said they would say no to a covid jab, citing concerns over the vaccine's effect on their fertility and pregnancies. @LucyChappell2 joins @emmabarnett to sort fact from fiction: https://t.co/CKCFKUwjHZ

[Maternity Action @MaternityAction]

Deeply worrying report by @janemerrick23 that underlines the need for @RishiSunak to act upon our joint call with @RCObsGyn & @MidwivesRCM to use the #CJRS furlough scheme to protect women who are 28 weeks pregnant or otherwise especially vulnerable. 1/2

(1/4) The MWF welcomes the long-awaited release of “Mend the Gap” and the commitment from the Secretary of State “to tackle the gender pay gap". The report confirms that on average, pay of women doctors is 12%-19% less than men accounting for differences in hours worked
