Cervical Smears
All eligible women 25 – 64 years of age will be sent information for cervical smears. From the age of 25-50 smears need to be taken every 3 years, after the age of 50 this needs to happen within every 5 years. This is a simple, painless procedure, carried out by the nurse, and enables early detection of changes that can prevent more serious conditions occurring.
Menopause
If you would like information or advice relating to the menopause, please make an appointment to see the Doctor or Nurse.

Pregnancy
If you think you are pregnant, you can refer yourself directly into the midwifery services by following the link to their portal here https://www.bradfordhospitals.nhs.uk/selfreferral/
or if you prefer you can arrange an appointment with your GP who will then refer you to the maternity services.
Once referred, an appointment will be sent to you, from your midwife, for you to be seen when you are around 12 weeks pregnant. After your 12-week booking appointment, care during your pregnancy will be shared between the GPs and the midwife. Appointments will be made on a regular basis to ensure your pregnancy is progressing normally.
