Cervical Screening
We’re encouraging anyone who has received an invitation for cervical screeningto book their appointment now.The NHS Cervical Screening Programme saves thousands of lives every year by checking for high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV),a group of viruses that cause nearly all cervical cancers. High-risk HPV testing (performed at your cervical screening) is a more sensitive and accurate test than the previous method and is the best way to find out who is at higher risk of developing the cervical cell changes that over time could potentially lead to cervical cancer.Even if you've been vaccinated against HPV, it's still important that you attend your cervical screening appointment when invited. Combined with the HPV vaccine, cervical screening could make cervical cancer a thing of the past. Every screening we do is potentially saving a life. If you missed your last cervical screening, book an appointment with one of our lovely nurses now –it is not too late and we are here to support you. If you’ve received your invitation, call us to book as soon as possible.

A Carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a family member or friend who could not always manage without their support.
A Young Carer is a child between 5 & 16 who looks after or helps to look after someone who has an illness, learning or physical disability, a mental health illness or misuse of drugs or alcohol. It might be your mum or dad, grandparent, brother or sister or a close relative or friend. A Young Carer usually takes on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult. This means doing things like cooking, cleaning, shopping, giving medication or just talking and helping when the person you care about is feeling sad.
The Surgery can help support you, offer advice and direct you to other organisations like Carer Support Wiltshire who can help.
