Our next walk in cervical screening clinic is at 📍 The Friarage Hospital, Northallerton. We'll be there from 10am - 3pm on Saturday 21st June 2025. If you're overdue your screening, take this as your sign to come along! You'll need to have received your reminder, which you'll currently get every 3 years between aged 25 and 49, and every 5 years between 50 and 64. Cervical screening (smear test) is: ✅ Quick – the actual screening is really fast, so you'll be in and out in no time. ✅ Life saving - screening is the best way to protect yourself against cervical cancer. ✅ Easy – just walk in with your NHS number, no appointment needed. Cervical screening shouldn't be: ❌ Painful - it may be a bit uncomfortable, but there's adjustments that can be made to ensure it's a positive experience. ❌ Embarrassing - our team are highly experienced, and have done hundreds of screenings. We don't care what you look like, if you missed your last wax, or if your tan is patchy. We'll just be pleased to see you. If you can't make this walk in clinic, follow us for information on the next one, or if you'd prefer to attend on a set date and time, call us on 01904 721111 to book an appointment.
