CERVICAL SMEAR – 20 minute appointment with a Practice Nurse

All women who are registered with a GP are invited for cervical screening:
  • aged 25 to 49 – every three years
  • aged 50 to 64 – every five years
  • over 65 – only women who haven't been screened since age 50 or those who have recently had abnormal tests

BREAST SCREENING

All women between 47 and 73 years who are registered with a GP will be invited for screening every 3 years. The invitation is sent out automatically. Currently all women will receive their first invitation for a mammogram sometime between their 49th and 53rd birthdays. The risk of getting breast cancer increases as women get older and we encourage women over 70 to continue with three yearly screening. All women over the age of 70 need to contact the Jarvis Centre to arrange an appointment.

INR

Are you taking warfarin?

At Grayshott Surgery we run regular clinics, it offers you same day results, support and guidance with taking warfarin.

 

How does it work?

 

We use a Coagucheck machine which works by measuring how long the blood takes to clot. We take a small sample of blood from the finger by using a punch Lancet. The sample is placed on a strip that goes into the machine and within minutes we have the result. Fast, simple, accurate. This machine works alongside the software called inr star which enables the anticoagulant nurse to advise you of your warfarin dose, any changes to be made and your follow-up appointment. With every inr check you will be given a print out of instructions and your next appointment will be booked. Your GP also gets a copy of this print out so should there be any concerns it is immediately dealt with.

 

What does INR mean?

 

INR means International Normalised Ratio.
