Think you’re too busy?
Not enough hours in the day?
Too many other priorities?
No more excuses – make time for CervicalCheck
While there never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done, it is time to stop making excuses, take five minutes out of your busy day and arrange your free CervicalCheck smear test.
A smear test only takes a few minutes and if you haven’t had a smear test in three years or more, it needs to be on your to-do list. CervicalCheck – The National Cervical Screening Programme provides free smear tests for women aged 25 to 60. There is a choice of over 4,150 male and female smeartakers (GPs doctors and practice nurses) nationwide – and it’s free.
You don’t need an invitation letter or to register with CervicalCheck. To arrange a smear test simply contact a registered smeartaker of your choice to make an appointment. GPs, practice nurses, Women’s Health, Family Planning and Well Woman Clinics all over Ireland are registered to provide free smear tests. For details of all registered smeartakers you can call CervicalCheck on Freephone 1800 45 45 55 or visit www.cervicalcheck.ie.
If you have already had a CervicalCheck smear test, CervicalCheck will write to you when your next smear test is due – and if you change address, be sure to let CervicalCheck know your new contact details.
It is recommended that women have a smear test every three to five years, depending on their age. Most smear test results are found to be perfectly normal and CervicalCheck will contact you about your results within four weeks of having your free smear test.
