Around 2,600 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in England each year and around 690 women die from the disease.

It is estimated that if everyone attended screening regularly, 83% of cervical cancer cases could be prevented; however, attendance is at a 20-year low, with one in four women in the UK not attending their cervical screening.

Don’t ignore your invitation letter. Pop into reception or call us on 0208 887 8329 to book your screening appointment.

The practice nurses perform smear tests. The first invitation will be sent out at the age of 25 years. From 25 to 49 years, smear tests should be performed every 3 years, and from 50 to 64 years, at intervals of 5 years.

Please telephone to make an appointment to see the practice nurse when you have received your invitation letter.
