Clinics/Services |
| Cervical Smears – All women under the age of 65 years are entitled to and should have cervical smear tests. A smear test detects cancer of the neck of the womb and is carried out at 3 yearly intervals from the age of 25 – 49 years and 5 yearly intervals from the age of 50 – 64 years. The test is done to help prevent cervical cancer and not to diagnose cancer. Cervical smear tests are performed by our practice nurse. |
| Mammographic/Breast Screening – We recommend that all women over the age of 50 years participate in the National Breast Screening Programme offered by the NHS. |
| Bowel Cancer Screening – We advise all our patients aged over 60 years to participate in the National Bowel Screening Programme organised by Public Health. This is a rolling programme that occurs between the ages of 60 and 70 years. You will be sent a kit to screen for possible bowel cancer every 2 years. Bowel cancer is a very treatable disease if caught early. Ask for more information if you are not sure or have questions. If you need to request a replacement kit, we do not keep any in the practice, please ring 0800 707 6060. |
