Cervical screening (also known as a smear test) checks the health of your cervix. The cervix is the opening to your womb from your vagina.
It’s not a test for cancer, it’s a test to help prevent cancer.
Who the screening is for
All women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64 should get a letter to invite them for a smear.
If you’ve not been invited and think you’re eligible, please contact the surgery.
How often you need a screening
How often you need screening depends on how old you are.
If you’re:
- under 25, you’ll be invited up to 6 months before you turn 25
- 25 to 49, you’ll be invited every 3 years
- 50 to 64, you’ll be invited every 5 years
- 65 or older, you’ll only be invited if 1 of your last 3 tests was abnormal.
Getting an appointment
You’ll get a letter in the post inviting you to make an appointment.
The letter will tell you where you can go and how to request an appointment.
If you have not received a screening letter
You can also request an appointment at the surgery if you have not received an invite by letter, or if you lost the letter.

There are several organisations that provide support for carers. You can contact them yourself, without speaking to a GP first.
Carers and young carers
You are a carer if you are spending a regular amount of time looking after or supporting someone. This could be a relative, partner or friend who without your support or the help of other carers would be unable to live independently.
In order to work out if you are eligible for support as a carer, and to see how much help you need to make life easier for you, they will need to carry out a carer’s assessment with you.
About 1 in 20 people will get bowel cancer in their life. It affects men and women.
Screening can help detect bowel cancer early, when it’s easier to treat.
How it works
You use a home test kit to do the screening.
If you’re 60 to 74, you’ll be sent a kit every 2 years. The programme is expanding to eventually include those aged 50-59, so currently 56 year olds, and some 58 year olds, are also eligible for screening.
If you’re 75 or over, you can ask for a kit every 2 years. Call the free bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 60 60.
If you’re younger than 56 and you’re worried because you have a family history of bowel cancer, speak to your GP.
Call the free bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 60 60 if you have not been sent a test and you think you need one.
If you are worried about your symptoms
You can read about symptoms of bowel cancer on the NHS website.
If you have symptoms that you are worried about you can request an appointment.

The NHS Health Check is a free check-up of your overall health.
As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing certain health conditions. These check-ups help find ways to lower this risk.
How it helps you
An NHS Health Check can tell you if you’re at higher risk of getting certain health problems. This includes:
- heart disease
- diabetes
- kidney disease
- strokes
During the check-up, we’ll discuss how to reduce your risk and help you make a plan to stay healthy.
If you’re over 65, we’ll also talk about the signs and symptoms of dementia.
Who is eligible
You are eligible for an NHS Health Check every 5 years if you’re between 40 and 74 years of age.
You may get an automatic invitation from the surgery or your local authority.
If you do not get an invite, but think you’re eligible, please contact the practice.
What to expect
An NHS Health Check takes about 30 minutes. A nurse or healthcare assistant will:
- ask some questions about your lifestyle and family history
- measure your height and weight
- take your blood pressure
- do a blood test
We’ll then give you personalised advice to help you stay healthy.
