5 minutes of feeling a bit awkward could save your life, although there is absolutely no need to feel awkward or embarrassed as the nurse has seen it all before.
If you are due a smear test, call or pop in to make an appointment

Are you aged 25–29? When was your last cervical screening aka smear test?

Less than half of women aged 25-29 in GGC are attending smear test appointments when invited, even though it only takes a few minutes and could be lifesaving.

💬⚽To help normalise conversations of smear tests (and make them a lot less awkward!), we’ve teamed up with Glasgow City FC to encourage open, honest chats about why they matter. We'll be sharing more this week.

If you're due a smear test appointment, be sure to contact your GP to lock this in. And, next time you’re talking to your friends, encourage them to do the same!

Our A&E departments are busier than normal. Please think carefully before attending.

Unless it’s an emergency, there are alternative healthcare services to help you get the care you need.

Think ABC before A&E:

✔ Ask yourself: Can I manage this at home? Visit NHS Inform or download the NHS 24 app for advice.
✔ Be aware: Your local GP, pharmacy, dentist, or optician can help with many conditions.
✔ Call 111: If it’s urgent or you’re unsure, NHS 24 will guide you to the right care.
