Congratulations to Greg, he was the winner of our Stroke Awareness Raffle!
Together we raised $94 to go to the Stroke Foundation. 

If you are a woman or person with a cervix, you should do cervical screening every 5 years from 25.

Our practice is offering Cervical Screening self-testing kits. A self-collected sample is just as safe, effective and accurate as a sample collected by a doctor or nurse. HPV can be found just as well in samples from either your cervix or your vagina.  
Contact us to make a booking with your GP.
