We offer a free cervical screening service (previously known as a smear test) with our Practice Nurses to females aged 25-49 years every three years and every 5 years for 50-65 year olds. The Cervical Screening Programme now uses human papillomavirus (HPV) testing as a new screening test. HPV is a virus that is very common. It can infect the genital areas of both men and women. For women who do not qualify for the free service or who choose to have their cervical screening appointment with one of our Doctor’s, please check the fees section to see what charges will apply to you.
