Cervical Cytology ('smears')
The national recall system is for all women aged between 25 and 65 years; you will be sent a reminder from them when your smear is due. This is currently every 3 years from age 25 to 50, and every 5 years from age 50 to 65.
This screening program can only be performed upon receipt of your reminder letter from the Health Authority, please make an appointment with the Practice Nurse once received.
Your results will be sent to you within approximately 4 weeks, directly from the laboratory if they are normal. Should your test result require action before your next routine smear recall, the practice will write to you.
