Cervical Smears
All women aged 25-64 are advised to have
regular smear tests. (Every 3 – 5 years
depending on age.) These can be booked with the
practice nurse or with a doctor during routine
surgeries. The National Screening
Programme have a computerised recall system and
all patients eligible will receive regular
reminders/invitations to attend for cervical
smears.
If you have been invited for screening, or
have been for screening and have any questions
about the result, you should contact the name
and address shown on your invitation letter or
result letter. If you are worried about a
specific problem, or otherwise worried about the
risks of cancer, then you should talk to your
GP.
