At Willow Health, we understand that the NHS cervical screening interval has now changed to every five years, and for some, that can feel like a long time between tests.
If you’d like additional reassurance between your routine NHS screenings, we offer private cervical smear tests carried out by experienced clinicians in a calm, supportive environment.
Our aim is to provide choice, reassurance, and high-quality care — ensuring you feel heard, informed, and supported every step of the way.
Cervical smears are a screening test — they are designed to detect early changes in cervical cells before symptoms develop.
If you are experiencing any symptoms such as unusual bleeding, discharge, pain, or discomfort, it’s important to have a full clinical review rather than a screening test.
Results are typically available within 3 weeks, and you’ll receive a detailed written report.
If your results indicate that further assessment is needed, we can provide a referral to a private colposcopy service for continued care and peace of mind.
20 min consultation (face to face) and examination – smear is sent for HPV testing and cytology (a close look at the cells) under the microscope
£350, for consultation and smear testing
If we are examining you for another purpose, e.g. during a coil fitting or pelvic health assessment, you can have a smear taken during your examination
£225
