Welcome to CervicalCheck - The National Cervical Screening Programme

 

 

 

ladyAgingCervicalCheck - The National Cervical Screening Programme provides free smear tests to women aged 25 to 60. A smear test is a simple procedure that only takes minutes and is the most effective way to detect changes in the cells of the cervix.

How to arrange a free smear test

To arrange a smear test you can contact a registered smeartaker of your choice to make an appointment. Thousands of GPs, practice nurses, Women's Health, Family Planning and Well Woman Clinics all over Ireland are registered. You can see a full list in the 'Find a smeartaker' section of this site. If you have any questions you can call CervicalCheck on Freephone 1800 45 45 55.

Women who have already availed of a CervicalCheck smear test since the start of the Programme on 1 September 2008 will be automatically re-called when their next smear test is due.
