All women aged 25 to 64 are routinely invited to cervical screening to check the health of their cervix. Cervical screening used to be called a smear test. Cervical screening checks the health of your cervix and helps find any abnormal changes before they can turn into cancer. During the screening appointment, a small sample of cells will be taken from your cervix.The sample is checked for certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) that can cause changes to the cells of your cervix. These are called "high risk" types of HPV.

Dr Kathryn Robinson has a specialised interest in Dermatology and has a small dermatology clinic that runs on Wednesday. Only clinicians are allowed to book in to these clinics.

If appropriate, they will be added to the Minor Surgery waiting list.
