Let’s be honest – having your cervix checked by a total stranger is no-one’s idea of fun! It’s intimate, a bit awkward and can be slightly uncomfortable.
Cervical cancer affects around 3,100 people every year. It is an aggressive cancer. Nearly all cases are caused by the very common and usually harmless HPV virus. The smear test can catch the virus at the earliest stage before cancer can develop.
Cervical cancer is often curable if it’s diagnosed at an early stage. We know that not everyone takes up the offer of a smear test, but we want to change that!
If you are overdue your cervical screening, please do not hesitate to contact the surgery to arrange your appointment
