Summerdale Medical is happy to announce that we are accepting new patients to the Practice. Please phone the surgery to make an appointment for a new patient enrollment which will be conducted by a practice nurse. This enrollment is to enter the patient’s details and relevant medical history to our computer system. Your immunisations and medications are recorded so it is helpful to bring with you any relevant documentation you feel may be helpful to have on file for the doctor. This interview will last approximately half an hour and it is to be made prior to your doctors appointment.
At this appointment, we will make arrangements to have documentation prepared to send through to your previous surgery to obtain your medical history which will be loaded into your file. The Summerdale Medical Practice offers booked clinics 7 days per week. Our opening hours are extensive and are available to you once you become a patient of the Practice.
If you have previously had a Pap Smear test with a normal result:
If you have not previously had a Pap Smear test, even if you are sexually active, it is safe to commence screening at 25 years of age.
If you have received an abnormal test result for your last Pap or Cervical Screening Test, continue to follow the advice given to you by your GP.
If you have received an unsatisfactory test result for your last Pap Test, you should get screened at the age of 25 years.
If you, at any age, have symptoms such as unusual vaginal bleeding, discharge or pain during sexual intercourse, you should see your GP as soon as possible.
