invited for an appointment
with a specialist screening
nurse at a community clinic.
 The clinics are weekly and
based in Skelmersdale, Euxton
and Preston.
The age expansion is gradually being rolled out
across Central Lancashire so all women aged 53-70
should have been invited for screening every three
years however the age for screening has recently
being expanded to include women aged 47-73 so
these women will begin to receive an appointment
the next time their practice is screened.
All men and women aged 60-75 will receive a
test kit every two years.
The test kits are sent to all men and women
registered with a GP.
