Cervical cancer screening can be offered either as opportunistic screening or an organised screening programme. However, organised screening programmes are more:

• effective (producing the greatest reductions in cervical cancer)
• equitable (providing the same benefits to all women) 
• efficient (having the greatest effect for the cost of the programme).

Cervical cancer screening in the England is offered within a nationally organised screening programme and invites women aged 25-64 for screening every 3 to 5 years depending on their age.
