Recommendations for private cervical smear test?

[EstherDR]

Hello all

Does anyone have a recommendation for where to go for a private cervical smear test?

I had one on the NHS last year but do not want to wait three years to get re-tested.

In the ED area would be great, but feel free to share if you've had good experiences elsewhere. Even better if not extortionately priced :)

Many thanks in advance!

If you wish another smear to reassure yourself of a possible medical problem, would it not be better to mention this to your GP who could do another smear or give advice where to contact.

Pugwash - I did, but my GP was rather dismissive and not willing to do another smear. Hence the request for tips :)

Hi, if you go to a family planning clinic then it should be possible to have another test on the NHS. If you have a clear reason to request another test and your GP is still dismissive then I would take this further with the practice in question.

Yes, try the Margaret Pyke Centre. They recently moved to WC1.
