Cervical Screening (Pap/HPV Tests)
Routine tests that check cervical cells for changes and HPV.
Cervical screening helps detect cell changes early, before they become serious. We offer Pap smears and high-risk HPV testing according to age and risk guidelines, with sensitive care and clear next steps.
Gentle screening with clear follow-up
We review your history, explain the test, and perform a quick smear. Results are discussed with you, including timelines and any referral for colposcopy if needed. Reminders are set for future tests.
Comfortable, evidence-based cervical care
Female clinicians available, same-day appointments, rapid results, and integrated care pathways if abnormalities are found. We prioritise comfort, privacy, and informed decisions.

WhatsApp UsHow often should I have a Pap/HPV test?
Frequency depends on age, results, and risk. We'll advise a safe interval, typically every 3–5 years for low risk.
Does the test hurt?
You may feel brief pressure, but it should not be painful. Tell us if you're uncomfortable.
Can I screen during my period?
Best to book when not bleeding. Light spotting is usually fine-ask our team.
What if my result is abnormal?
Most changes are minor. We'll explain your result and arrange repeat tests or colposcopy if required.
Is HPV vaccination still helpful?
Yes. Vaccination reduces risk but screening is still important
