Cervical Smears
Cancer of the cervix can be prevented and all female patients between twenty-one and sixty-four years are advised to have regular smear tests. These are important because they can detect early signs of disease, which is easily treated. A call and recall system is operated by the Health authority to remind you when your test is due. Please ask at reception for an appointment.

Breast Awareness
Our nurse practitioner is trained to teach female patients how to check for any changes in their breasts. If you notice any lumps please arrange to see your doctor as soon as possible.

Influenza
Each year during October and November a programme of influenza vaccinations is carried out. It is strongly recommended that patients with diabetes, chronic lung diseases (including asthma), chronic heart disease,
chronic kidney disease and patients with reduced immunity take advantage of this vaccination.
