Cervical smears are recommended for women every 3-5 years (or otherwise advised), between the ages of 25 and 65. These are important because they detect early signs of disease when it can be easily treated.
Primary Care Services Agency operate a recall system. You will be invited by letter when your smear is due, asking you to make a surgery appointment with our Nurse. Please inform the surgery if there are specific reasons for you not having a smear, or why you should not be included in the recall system. We will then inform the Primary Care Services Agency on your behalf.
