Give the time to test
Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust has asked employers to start the new year well by giving women and people with a cervix time off to attend cervical screening.
Its research found 1 in 5 had used annual leave for screening appointments and that 38% were unable to get an appointment and a convenient time.
Organisations that sign up to Time to Test strengthen their Employee Wellbeing offer. They
- help staff take steps to reduce their risk of cervical cancer
- show commitment to cervical cancer awareness and prevention
- promote a culture that empowers, values and supports employees in protecting their health
- contribute to reducing the stigma surrounding cervical cancer and dispel myths about the disease
