We provide a private service offering cervical smears and also the HPV vaccination.
A cervical smear test (the Papanicolaou test is known as a Pap smear, Pap test, cervical smear, or smear test), is a method of detecting abnormal (potentially pre-cancerous) cells and cancerous processes in the cervix in order to prevent cervical cancer. The cervix is the entrance to the womb from the vagina. Combined with cervical screening, the HPV vaccination is also an important step towards preventing cervical cancer.
What Does A Cervical Smear Test Involve?
A private appointment for a cervical smear test takes around 15 minutes. We process and return your results within 3 to 4 working days.
HPV testing is also included with our cervical smear test.
Having a regular screen means that any abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix can be identified at an early stage and, if necessary, treated to stop cancer developing.
It is estimated that early detection and treatment can prevent up to 75% of cervical cancers.
Fees
Cost of Cervical Smear: £220 (appointment fee included)
BCG / Mantoux (TB) Test
If you are at risk of contracting tuberculosis (TB), we can provide the Mantoux screening test and the BCG vaccination which gives between 70%-80% protection against the disease.
TB is a potentially lethal infection caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily attacks the lungs. The BCG vaccine is given as a single dose following a ‘negative’ Mantoux test. You should consider getting tested and vaccinated if:
You have been in contact with those suffering from TB
You are travelling to and from countries with a high level of TB
You work in the health care professions
If you represent a company, we can advise you on the best approach to employee vaccinations.
How it works
When you come in for your treatment we will discuss the test and vaccination with you and make you as comfortable and calm as possible.
You will first have the Mantoux test. This involves a single injection into the arm. You may experience mild itching or swelling
You will have to return exactly two days later for us to ‘read’ the reaction
If your Mantoux test is negative, you will be given your BCG vaccination
A small red spot will usually develop within a few weeks of the vaccination; this will heal to form a small scar
If your Mantoux test comes back positive you will require a chest X-ray, which we can organise with the Nuffield private hospital
Fees
Cost of TB Testing (Mantoux Test) - £100 (appointment fee included)
Cost of TB Vaccine / BCG Vaccination - £100 (appointment fee included)
