We can end cervical cancer

Together, we can end cervical cancer.

Our vision is making cervical cancer a disease of the past. Every day nine women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and two women will lose their lives. The faster we act, the faster we change this.

So, what is our role in making elimination a reality?

The next 20 years

We commissioned research projecting incidence and mortality in England until 2040 factoring in changes to the vaccination and screening programmes and variations in uptake. As the leading cervical cancer charity we wanted to better understand where the impact of cervical cancer will be felt most over the coming years.

We modelled incidence and mortality based on changes to the vaccination and screening programmes and variations in uptake.

What are we doing at Jo's?

Information and support

• The UK has the tools to end cervical cancer, with highly effective HPV vaccination and cervical screening programmes. 
  At Jo's, we want to make sure that everyone has the information and support they need to be able to access cervical cancer prevention, and to recognise symptoms of cervical cancer.

• In January 2023 we launched our We Can end cervical cancer campaign, to coincide with Cervical Cancer Prevention Week.

  We published our latest report highlighting the challenges and opportunities that the UK faces in eliminating cervical cancer, and we met with politicians in Westminster and Holyrood to share our vision and to call for government strategies and commitments.

Who's with us?

Cervical cancer elimination is supported by the World Health Organisation, and they launched a strategy in 2020 which sets out how countries around the world can make cervical cancer a thing of the past.

As part of the UK's HPV Coalition, we've also launched a roadmap to eliminating all HPV related cancers in the UK. Find out more here >
