Cervical Smears

It is very important for all women between 20 and 65 to have a cervical smear test every three to five years for which they will receive a recall letter.

The test is carried out by the practice nurse.

If you haven't been for a Cervical Smear Test before you may be wondering what happens during your appointment.

Child Health and Vaccinations

Childhood vaccinations are started at 2, 3 and 4 months old and continue at intervals until the child goes to school. These vaccinations protect children from serious illness. Your child will be invited by post to attend for vaccination. If you have any concerns about the safety of vaccination, please discuss with the Health Visitor, our Child Immunisation Practice Nurse, or one of the doctors. Child vaccination clinics are held on Tuesday afternoon.
