The practice nurses and the doctors take cervical smears in-line with NHS guidelines.
- aged 25 to 49 – every three years
- aged 50 to 64 – every five years
- over 65 – only women who haven’t been screened since age 50 or those who have recently had abnormal tests
If you have not had your regular smear and have had a letter from the local health authority inviting you for one, please make an appointment to see the nurse. You will receive a letter advising you of the result from the health authority.
