Smears. Things have changed! Now, after having your smear,you will probably get your results before we do. If there is a problem needing a hospital referral to the colposcopy clinic, this will now be done directly, and you will receive an appointment. If the smear is negative, you will receive a letter telling you this. As always, you are welcome to come and discuss results with us. MJ Midgley 15:51 06/04/2009
