Cervical Check
CervicalCheck – The National Cervical Screening Programme provides free smear tests to women aged 25 to 60. A smear test is a simple procedure that only takes minutes and is the most effective way to detect changes in the cells of the cervix.
The best time to have your Smear test is between day 10 and 14 of a 28 day menstural cycle. Day 1 is the first day of your period. A smear can be done upto day 20 of a 28 day cycle.
One of our fully trained female nurses or female doctors will perform the test.
Please call to make an appointment.
