Services
Antenatal 
We all provide maternity care, sharing your care with your midwife and the local hospitals. If you think you are pregnant, please make an appointment with one of the GPs.
Breast Screening
The NHS Breast Screening Programme offers a free breast screening service every three years to women aged 50-70 who are registered with a GP.
Every woman will receive her first screening invitation by her 53rd birthday.
Women over the age of 70 can self-refer for a screening mammogram every three years by contacting their local screening office (01227 783000) to make an appointment.
Cervical Screening
The practice nurses and the doctors take cervical smears in-line with NHS guidelines.
- aged 25 to 49 – every three years
- aged 50 to 64 – every five years
- over 65 – only women who haven't been screened since age 50 or those who have recently had abnormal tests
If you have not had your regular smear and have had a letter from the local health authority inviting you for one, please make an appointment to see the nurse. You will receive a letter advising you of the result from the health authority.
