Women aged between 24 and 64 should have a cervical screening every 3 to 5 years to help prevent cervical cancer. The screening is quick and painless and can be done here in the practice.

If you are aged over 24 and have never had a smear test, or if it has been more than 3 to 5 years since your last screening, you should arrange an appointment with our Practice Nurse. You should not have the test while you are having a period or in the 4 days before or after your period as this can affect the sample.

Chlamydia testing kits for people aged 15 to 24 years are available from the Surgery – they are in stripy packets on the table next to the stairs. Please put any completed tests in the blue box for processing.
