The pilot project ended on September 1, 2026. Pilot patients who require follow-up after September 1, 2026, will need to see a healthcare provider for  cervical cancer screening. Self-screening is no longer available. Details on when self-screening  will be part of the Alberta Cervical Cancer Screening Program are not currently available.

The Cervix Self-Screening Pilot Project was a 3-year initiative led by the Alberta Cervical Cancer Screening Program in Primary Care Alberta. The purpose of the project was to increase cervical cancer screening access and participation in under-screened populations in Alberta including Indigenous, newcomers, those living in rural and remote communities and those who hadn’t screened in 5 years or more.
