We provide various forms of cancer screening:
Cervical Screening
Cervical screening (a smear test) checks the health of your cervix, which is the opening to your womb from your vagina. It’s not a test for cancer, it’s a test to help prevent cancer. It’s one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer.
At St Martin’s we want to encourage women to have their screening test regularly. It’s your choice if you want to come for cervical screening but it is one of the best ways to protect you from cervical cancer. Women age 25 – 49 are invited to attend every 3 years. Women age 50 – 64 are invited to attend every 5 years.
We have cervical screening appointments in the daytime and evening at St Martins with one of our nursing team, and also at weekends at our local hub at Rutland Lodge. If you would like to talk to one of our nursing team about any concerns or queries you may have, or simply want to know more about what to expect , then please ask to book a phone call with one of the nursing team and they would be very happy to chat.

Breast Cancer Screening
About 1 in 8 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. If it’s detected early, treatment is more successful and there’s a good chance of recovery.
Breast screening (mammogram) – NHS aims to find breast cancers early. It uses an X-ray test called a mammogram that can spot cancers when they’re too small to see or feel.
In the meantime, if you’re worried about breast cancer symptoms, such as a lump or an area of thickened tissue in a breast, or you notice that your breasts look or feel different from what’s normal for you, do not wait to be offered screening, call us.
