International Women’s Day CelebrationNorthern Medical Centre

Adelaide PHN’s practice facilitators support general practices and other primary care providers with regular support. This includes Practice Incentives Program, preparing for accreditation assessments, analysing and interpreting practice data.

Practice facilitators have strong working relationships with primary health care providers, directing providers to the relevant information or connecting them to the service or person that can assist.

Northern Medical Centre is an AGPALaccredited mixed billing general practice that we support in northern Adelaide.

On Friday, 10 March, the centre celebrated International Women’s Day by offering free pap smears. Food and goody bags were also distributed to all patients who came in for the tests on the day. Thirty-three women did their cervical screening, either using a self-collection kit or a test conducted by a doctor.

Anyone with a cervix is highly encouraged to do a cervical screening every five years to reduce the risk of cervical cancer.

Please visit Wellbeing SA website for information on cervical screening self-collection kits.
