Well Woman Clinic

If you would like to book a Well Woman Check please do so with one of our Practice Nurses.

Women between the ages of 25 and 65 years will be regularly invited to attend for a smear test. The test is normally carried out by one of our specialist trained nurses. The best time to book a smear is midway between periods. Please inform the receptionist at the time of booking that a smear test is required. Your result will be sent to you by the Kent Primary Agency.

Times for the above services vary. Unfortunately it is not possible to book nurse appointments online due to the different lengths of time needed for various procedures. Please ring the surgery to make your appointments with a nurse.
