While it's on your mind, just tap the NHS App, and get it off your to-do list.

⚠️ Travel Disruption near practice

There has been an accident at Tushmore Roundabout (with the traffic lights, coming into Langley Green), causing significant delays in the area.

Please leave extra time for your journey and take an alternative route to avoid being late for your appointment. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This week is Cervical Cancer Prevention week. Taking care of your cervical health is one of the most important things you can do - and we’re here to make it as easy and comfortable as possible.
Cervical screening helps prevent cancer - and you have choices to make the appointment work for you.

Did you know you can:
✔ Ask for a female clinician
✔ Request a quiet or longer appointment
✔ Bring someone with you
✔ Ask for a chaperone
✔ Be added back to the recall list if you previously opted out by mistake
Been invited for cervical screening? Put your health at the top of your to-do list and book your appointment as soon as you can.
