Who should be screened
Most women aged 25 to 65 who have ever been sexually active benefit from regular screening, even if they feel well. The doctor will advise which test suits your age and history and how often to repeat it.
How samples are tested
We use liquid-based cytology (LBC), which checks the cells of the cervix, with an HPV test for the high-risk virus types where the doctor advises it. The sample is taken at the clinic in a few minutes and processed by an accredited external laboratory. You are told the cost before the test, and the doctor explains your result.
What happens
- The test is explained, and you can ask questions.
- You undress from the waist down in private and are covered with a sheet.
- A speculum is gently inserted so the cervix can be seen, and a small brush takes a sample of cells. It takes a minute or two and may feel uncomfortable, but is not painful for most women.
- You can ask to stop at any time.
Your result
Most results are normal, and you are told when to be screened again. If changes are found, you may need a repeat test, an HPV test or colposcopy (a closer look at the cervix), and we will arrange the referral. Most abnormal results are not cancer.
Before you come
- Book for a day when you are not bleeding; the middle of your cycle is ideal.
- For two days before, avoid sex, vaginal creams, pessaries and douching.
- Bring any previous screening results.

Read Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers you can prevent outright. Ask the doctor about HPV vaccination for girls and young women.

Common questions
Does it hurt?
Most women find it uncomfortable rather than painful, and it takes a minute or two. Tell the doctor if you are anxious; you can stop at any time.
I have never been sexually active. Do I need it?
Your risk is very low. Talk it through with the doctor, who will advise whether screening is useful for you.
I have had the HPV vaccine. Do I still need screening?
Yes. The vaccine prevents most, but not all, of the HPV types that cause cervical cancer.
Can I be screened while pregnant?
If screening is due, the doctor will advise whether to do it now or after the baby is born.
