What is Ask the Expert?

Ask the Expert is for anyone with questions or concerns about; 

Questions submitted through our online form are anonymised (any identifying details will be removed) and sent to an appropriate member of our medical panel. You will receive an initial email confirming receipt of your query (please do check your junk mail) and get an email response to your query within seven days (this may take longer during busy periods).

Due to legal reasons this service is only available to UK residents. If you are outside the UK we will not be able to process your query.

It is important to note that we are a cervix based charity and for legal reasons our panel members can only respond to questions that relate to the cervix. If you have a question relating to other areas of the body please see our HPV and other cancers FAQs. If you have questions about the HPV vaccine this is also covered in a section on our website.

We have a detailed information section on the website with lots of FAQs, where you may find your answer. Please take a moment to look at this before submitting an Ask the Expert form.
