Cervical smears are offered to all women who are sexually active and are carried out by the doctors or nurse. When you receive notification from us that your smear is due, please ring and make an appointment with the Nurse. Please tell the receptionist that you wish to make an appointment for a smear test.
Most women who have had hysterectomies do not require a smear – please discuss with your doctor.
You will be notified of the result of your smear which can take up to 8 weeks. When you receive the result, you may be asked to see the doctor. This is usually nothing to worry about and is usually just to discuss minor changes on your smear.
We advise all women who are sexually active to have a smear. Please contact the surgery to make an appointment or book via online access.
