The NHS Cervical Screening Programme aims to reduce the number of women who develop cervical cancer.
All women aged between 25 and 64 will be invited by the national screening programme - every three years (aged between 25 and 49) and every five years (aged between 50 and 64). You will receive a letter from the NHS informing you that your smear is due. 

Cervical smears are performed by the Practice Nurse on Monday and Wednesday mornings.
