Are you due your smear?

Cervical screening ( a smear) is not a test for cancer, it’s a test to help prevent  cancer. It checks a sample of cells from your cervix for high risk types of human  papillomavirus (HPV). High risk HPV can cause abnormal changes to  the cells in your cervix.

If high risk types of HPV are found during screening, the sample of cells is also  checked for abnormal cell changes. If abnormal cells are found, they can be  treated to help prevent cervical cancer.

If you are due a smear please contact the practice for an appointment- please  note you can only get a smear when it is due:

• 25-49 = 3 yearly
• 50-65 = 5  yearly

Please know the first day of your last cycle when attending.
