Welcome to Monkfield Medical Practice

Over 1.2 million people are not taking up their invite each year for a smear test. While they may not be pleasant, smear tests prevent 75% of cervical cancers, so they are important! If yours is overdue or you think you've not had one in a while, call to check and book!
