About smear test

A smear test, also known as cervical screening, is a procedure where a small sample of cells is collected from the cervix to check for human papillomavirus (HPV) and identify changes that could develop into cervical cancer. It's one of the most important preventive women's health screenings in the UK, often used to detect abnormalities before symptoms occur.

Privately, a smear test in the UK typically costs between £100 and £300, depending on the clinic, laboratory fees and whether a consultation is included.

What affects the cost of a smear test:

  • Testing type — HPV testing and advanced laboratory analysis can increase the overall cost.
  • Consultation requirements — some clinics include a gynaecology consultation as part of the package.
  • Clinic & location — private healthcare fees are generally higher in London and other major cities.
  • Additional investigations — follow-up tests or specialist assessments may increase the total cost.

 

Most clinics quote a "from" price, so confirm the full fee — including laboratory analysis and any consultation charges — before booking.
