- Not every HPV result needs private care.
- Five specific situations justify a consultant review.
- Private and NHS care can run alongside each other.
The five scenarios
1) Persistent HPV 16 or 18 for over 12 months with no clear plan. 2) An abnormal smear more than 12 weeks ago and still no colposcopy date. 3) Repeat LEEP after positive margins. 4) HPV diagnosed while trying to conceive. 5) Post-treatment anxiety with no dedicated review.
In each of these, a 30-minute consultant-led review — with the correct subtype panel and a proper plan — replaces months of drift.
