New Scottish Cervical Screening Campaign

A new campaign has been developed to grab the attention of young women aged 25-35, and start breaking down some barriers to attending.

DON'T IGNORE YOUR NEXT SMEAR INVITE AND IF YOU MISSED YOUR LAST SMEAR TEST, CONTACT YOUR GP PRACTICE TO FIND A TIME THAT SUITS YOU.

BOWEL SCREENING

All men and women aged 50–74 are invited for bowel screening. Bowel screening involves taking a simple test at home every two years.

We strongly encourage you to take this simple test. In Scotland the screening programme will prevent at least 150 deaths from bowel cancer each year

SELF CHECK-IN SCREEN

Why not bypass the queue and check yourself in for your appointment when you come to the surgery?  The check in screen is situated in the waiting room and is easy to use.

FAILED APPOINTMENTS

 PLEASE be thoughtful and let us know if you cannot attend as this will allow us to offer the appointment to another patient.

PLEASE NOTE THAT HEPATITIS A VACCINE IS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO A GLOBAL SHORTAGE.

AT PRESENT THE PRACTICE CAN ONLY OFFER DIPHTHERIA, TETANUS & POLIO AND TYPHOID VACCINES IF REQUIRED.
