Smear tests, for the detection of changes that indicate a woman may be at risk of cancer of the cervix (neck of womb), are available at 232 Medical.

232 Medical is registered with the National Cervical Screening Programme CervicalCheck. This National Cervical Screening Programme provides free smear tests to eligible women between the ages of 25 – 60 yrs (women aged 25-44 yrs will be screened at three yearly intervals, and women aged 45-60 will be recalled every five years for smear tests).

You can have your first smear taken with this programme regardless of when you had your last smear taken. Participation in this programme, CervicalCheck, does not prevent you from having a smear test more frequently if you desire, but there will be a charge.

Your PPS number will be required when making your appointment.  You must receive a letter of invitation from CervicalCheck before making a cervical smear appointment.  This can be done by logging on to www.cervicalcheck.ie or by ringing 1800 454 555
