What is a cervical smear test? A cervical screening test, or smear test, looks for abnormal cells in the cervix that could develop into cervical cancer. Regular screening is one of the best ways to protect against cervical cancer. At Mayfield Clinic Hale, we provide a comfortable and professional service. Our team works with you to arrange appointments at times that fit your schedule, and female practitioners can be requested if preferred. Our private GP service in Hale is designed to be straightforward, with clear information and respectful care from start to finish.

You may want to know more about cervical screening in general. Our clinicians can explain what the test involves, what the results mean, and what happens next if any cells are found. If you’re considering private care, you’ll still receive guidance that aligns with best practice and current UK guidance.

Important NHS information about cervical screening can be found on the NHS website: Cervical screening – NHS guidance. At Mayfield Clinic Hale, private GPs offer convenient cervical smear tests, fast results, and flexibility to ensure timely and comfortable screening.
