Womens' Health Services
Cervical Smears
Women, normally between the ages of 24 and 65, will be invited for a routine smear test every three to five years. Smears are normally taken by our practice nurses but may also be taken, if considered necessary, by your doctor.
Breast Screening
All women who have reached the age of 50 are offered a breast screening service every three years until the age of 65. You will have a simple screening x-ray called a mammogram. Leaflets on breast examination are available at the surgery. Please make an immediate appointment to see your GP is you discover any breast lump.
