National Screening Programmes

Woodland Road Surgery and all of our clinicians support the national cancer screening programmes. We actively encourage our patients to accept any invitations they receive and if you miss such an appointment you may receive a letter directly from our GP’s asking you to reconsider taking part and providing the information you need to book a new appointment.  Below are the links you need if you require any further information on the current programmes –
