Free Cervical Screening

Amid all the talk about the decision not to proceed with the cervical cancer vaccine, someone brought to my attention that there is a programme provides free smear tests to women aged 25-60 who are eligible for screening.

Women can arrange an appointment with a CervicalCheck registered smeartaker (doctor or practice nurse) at a convenient time and date. CervicalCheck has registered over 3,800 GPs, practice nurses, Women's Health, Family Planning and Well Woman Clinics with the Programme.
