Cervical Screening update July 2018

We are acutely aware of the anxiety and concerns felt by you regarding the recent revelations with the cervical screening programme.

We would encourage all women to continue availing of the cervical screening programme. If you are overdue or due to have a smear test, please make this appointment with our practice nurse.

Cervical Check have updated their website on www.cervicalcheck.ie with some comprehensive information which may be helpful .

If you are still concerned, please arrange an appointment for a consultation with your doctor to discuss your smear test history or you can alternatively book directly with our Practice Nurse for a repeat smear test.  The cost of both these visits will be paid for by the HSE.
