Chronic Illnesses

There is a growing epidemic of chronic disease within the UK, related to smoking, unhealthy diets, physical activity & other risk factors. Although it is important to try to avoid having them in the first instance (Primary Prevention), it also important to monitor or try and prevent affected patients from getting worse (Secondary Prevention) so they can live longer. Diabetes, depending on its complexity may require GP-only or hospital based management. Other gastro-enterological, dermatological or rheumatological conditions requiring specialised drugs are managed by the hospital, but can have blood monitoring at a GP surgery.

Cervical Smears

Only after a Health Authority invite to attend

A cervical screening test (otherwise known as a smear test) is a method of detecting abnormal cells on the cervix. The cervix is the entrance to the womb from the vagina. It’s a test to check the health of the cells of the cervix. The aim of the testing program is to reduce the number of women who develop cancer by detecting any early abnormal changes. All women over 25 years will be invited by the Health Authority every 3 years until the are 50 years old.  Thereafter they are re-called every 5 years until aged 65 years when the recall stops. The Health Authority will advise when you are due and will refuse a test taken too soon.
