Women aged 25 to 64 automatically get invited to cervical screenings (also known as ‘smear tests’). Regular screenings greatly lower the risk of getting cervical cancer.
You can decide if you want to get screening invites and reminders or not. If you don’t want to get invites and reminders, you can opt-out of the NHS cervical screening programme.
As a practice we have tried to accommodate the various difficulties patients have with having a smear by offering a variety of services, which include offering smears during extended hours clinics and offering smear only nurses clinics.
