Cervical screening (a smear test) checks the health of your cervix. The sample is first tested for high-risk HPV — the virus that causes nearly all cervical cancers — and, if found, the same sample is examined for cell changes (cytology).

Going private means a relaxed, unhurried appointment at a time that suits you, with results explained clearly — useful if you're between NHS invitations, have symptoms, or simply prefer not to wait.

What the Test Involves

A clinician gently takes a small sample of cells from the cervix; it takes only a few minutes. The lab tests for HPV first, then cytology if needed, and your result comes with a clear explanation and any recommended next step.

If cell changes are found, we can arrange colposcopy (a closer look) without delay.

Who Should Be Screened

Routine screening is recommended for women and people with a cervix from 25 to 64. Book sooner if you have symptoms such as bleeding between periods or after sex, or unusual discharge — these need assessment regardless of when your last smear was.

At The Vesey, screening can be booked directly without a referral.
