Please book your appointment when you are invited.
It's important that you attend your cervical screening appointment when invited, even if you've had the HPV vaccination. Cervical screening checks for high-risk types of the HPV virus and is the best way to find out who is at higher risk of developing the cell changes that could lead to cervical cancer. If you have received an invitation for cervical screening or missed your last screening, please don’t wait - book an appointment with your GP

This week is Cervical cancer prevention week.

Cervical cancer leads to approximately 685 deaths a year in England.

NHS England has pledged to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040 but to do that, everyone eligible needs to get the HPV vaccine and come forward for cervical screening (when invited).

HPV vaccinations are offered to children at school. The HPV vaccine helps protect against human papillomavirus (HPV). It's recommended for children aged 12 to 13 years old and people at higher risk from HPV. https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/hpv-vaccine/

Any patient aged between 16 and 24 who missed their HPV vaccination at school can book an appointment with their GP surgery for this vaccination.

This winter the NHS is encouraging people to get to the help they need by using NHS 111.

The NHS 111 service can assess and direct people to the most appropriate local service, including urgent treatment centres, GP practices, and consultations with a pharmacist. And, if needed, it can arrange a call back from a nurse, doctor or paramedic.

NHS 111 is an easy and convenient way to get urgent help for a wide range of health problems. It could even save you a trip to A&E, as it is estimated that up to two-fifths of A&E attendances are avoidable or could be better treated elsewhere.

People who need help in another language can call 111 and ask for an interpreter, British Sign Language (BSL) users can contact 111 using the NHS 111 BSL interpreter service by visiting https://111.nhs.uk/ and text relay users can call 18001 111.

If you need urgent medical help but you’re not sure where to go, use 111 to get assessed and directed to the right place for you. Call, go online or use the NHS App.

We seemed to have a high number of Nurse and HCA appointments missed last month. This is disappointing as we do have a high demand for Practice Nurse and HCA appointments. Can we please remind patients to attend any appointments they make for themselves or cancel in good time so the appointments can be used by other patients.
If you dont have SMS appointments reminders set up please ask our reception team and they can help you with this.
