Cervical Screening (smear test)
Cervical Screen: £215
Cervical Screen plus cytology: £330
The cervical screen involves checking for the presence of certain high risk types of a virus (HPV) which could go on to cause cervical cancer if left untreated. If the virus is detected, the cells in your sample will be examined (cytology) for abnormalities.
This is the same test that is offered by the NHS screening programme for women aged 25-49 years every 3 years, and for women aged 50-64 every 5 years.
The 'plus cytology' screen includes the cytology regardless of whether HPV is present, giving you additional reassurance.
