Cervical Cancer Screening
At our practice, we offer cervical smear tests for women aged 25 to 64. This screening helps detect abnormal changes on the cervix that could potentially develop into cancer over time. Early detection and treatment can prevent up to 75% of cervical cancers. We strongly encourage all eligible patients to book a routine appointment with our nurses for this crucial screening.
Take control of your health and prioritize early detection for your well-being. Remember, cervical screening is a preventive measure, not a diagnostic test. If any abnormalities are found, further investigations or treatments may be recommended.
We now offer Cervical Screening bookings via WhatsApp! For more information, click below:

We provide cervical screening ‘smear tests’ here at the surgery with the practice nurse. We are looking for the presence of the HPV virus on the cervix. Even though it is a common virus and is usually harmless, there is a small chance of it causing cell damage and sometimes cancer. If you are eligible/due you can call us anytime to arrange your cervical cancer screening.
