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.
