The time between your cervical screening, or smear test, is changing.

Cervical screening tests for HPV, which is the virus that causes most cervical cancers.

At the moment in England, women and people with a cervix aged 25-49 years are
routinely invited for cervical screening every 3 years. But now we have a better test
for HPV, the UK National Screening Committee (UKNSC) has recommended that
those testing negative won’t need to come for a cervical screening quite so often –
every 5 years instead of every 3. If your cervical screening shows you have HPV,
you may be invited for more frequent screenings to monitor any cell changes.

We are inviting our diabetic patients to our diabetes day on 22nd July, 12pm-6pm.

We will have a drop in eye screening for our patients. Eye screening is an important part of managing your condition, regardless of the type of diabetes you have. This is because having diabetes can mean you’re more at risk of developing eye problems, such as diabetic retinopathy. This can sometimes lead to sight loss.

As diabetic retinopathy doesn’t show any symptoms in the early stages, it can become quite advanced before you start to notice it. Going to your routine eye screening can help you spot and treat diabetic retinopathy early, which should prevent it from progressing to a stage where it’s more difficult to treat.

We will also have drop in liver screening. Patients with diabetes are more at risk of having fatty liver disease.

Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.

Look out for vulnerable family, friends and neighbours. Make sure they are aware of how they can keep cool and hydrated.

We are aware that it is being widely advertised in the news that GP practices can prescribe Mounjaro injections for weight loss.

We are not currently able to offer this service as we are waiting for further information.

If we can offer this service in the future, we will be in contact with the small number of patients who are eligible under the current NHS guidelines.

This week, we’re shining a light on the importance of cervical screening — a simple, quick test that can save your life.
In England, cervical screening (often called a smear test) is estimated to prevent around 70% of cervical cancer deaths. Even more encouraging if everyone who’s eligible attended their screening regularly, up to 83% of cervical cancer deaths could be prevented. That’s a powerful reason to make it a priority!

We know life gets busy, and it’s easy to forget or postpone your screening appointment. But it only takes a few minutes, just a small moment of your day that can protect your future health. Cervical screening detects abnormal cells early before they develop into cancer. Early detection means early treatment, which is usually more effective and less invasive.
