It’s #CervicalScreeningAwarenessWeek. Women aged 25 to 64 are invited for cervical screening. It checks for changes to cells in your cervix, helping prevent cervical cancer. If invited, or you missed your last screening, contact your GP practice or local sexual health clinic.

Great Western Hospitals are using AI with medical students to enhance their training when consulting with patients. The technology creates realistic patient scenarios. Students practise communication and clinical decision-making in a safe environment.
