Cervical Screenings

Cervical cancer screening is a way of preventing cervical cancer.

Who can have cervical cancer screening (The 'smear' test)?

• Women age 25 to 49 are invited for screening every 3 years.
• Women age 50 to 64 are invited for screening every 5 years.
• Women aged over 65 are only screened if they have not had a smear test since the age of 50 or if they have had recent abnormal results.

You will receive an invitation for cervical screening when your next test is due. Make an appointment with one of our Practice Nurses for the smear test.
