Yesterday we posted a tweet promoting cervical screening, which referred to ‘anyone with a cervix’.
The tweet was part of a regional campaign aimed at the LGBTQ+ community, to encourage trans men and those that identify as non-binary, to book a cervical screening. 👇

We know from health data that fewer people in these groups come forward for this service which can help to prevent cervical cancer.
This is a potentially life-saving service and we’ll continue to do all we can to promote it.

We always try our best to make the language we use in our communications as inclusive as possible and on this occasion we should have been clearer.
