  • CERVICAL SCREENING

Cervical screening (a smear test) is a test performed by our practice nurse to check the health of the cervix and help prevent cervical cancer. It's offered to women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64.

Currently, women aged 25-49 are invited for screening every 3 years and those aged 50-64 are invited every 5 years.
