Cervical Screaning
Cervical screening, which used to be called smear test, is a test to check the health of the cervix and help prevent cervical cancer. It’s offered to women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64.
You will receive a letter when your cervical screening test is due.
Please call us on 0203 405 6570 to book an appointment.
How often you are invited depends on your age.
Age Under 25 – Invites sent up to 6 months before you turn 25
25 to 49 – Every 3 years
50 to 64 – Every 5 years
65 or older – Only if a recent test was abnormal
As a practice we know that our patients often have concerns about attending these appointments for many reasons. If you are concerned about the procedure or have questions regarding your cervical smear please contact reception on 0203 405 6570 and ask for an appointment or telephone call with one of nurses to discuss your concerns. Our nurses are fully trained in cervical smear procedures and will be happy to provide you with advice and guidance. For further information on cervical smears please use the following links:

Childhood Immunisation
To give your child the best protection, it’s important that vaccines are given on time.
We will send you a text message when your child is due for routine vaccinations.
It is important you maintain correct contact details (ideally a mobile phone and email address) so we can contact you when immunisations are due. Please contact us if you need to update your contact details.
If you think you have missed an appointment for immunisations then please contact us for an appointment with our Nurse on 0203 405 6570.
If you have received your immunisations elsewhere (in another country or privately) then please let us know, ideally by providing proof of the vaccination, so we can update our records.
