Resident doctor strike

From Wednesday 17 to Monday 22 December, resident doctors (formerly known as junior doctors) will be taking strike action. During this time, our services will be under increased pressure.

Getting the right care

Please help us make sure emergency care is available for those who need it most:

  • Only attend A&E in life-threatening emergencies.
  • For non-urgent issues, please contact your GP, your local pharmacy, or NHS 111 (online or by phone).

Appointments and planned care

  • If your appointment is affected, we will contact you directly.
  • If you do not hear from us, please attend your appointment as planned.

Colposcopy

Colposcopy is a procedure where the lining of the cervix (the neck of the womb) is closely examined. This is recommended when the results of cervical screening (smear test) suggest there may be abnormal cells or changes in the cervix.

Key telephone numbers

You can contact us on 020 8970 8283

What types of treatments are available in your service?

If you are referred for a colposcopy after an abnormal screening test you should never automatically assume you have cervical cancer. Less than 1 in 1,000 women referred for a colposcopy are found to have invasive cervical cancer requiring immediate treatment.

Referrals and other information

How does an external healthcare provider refer to your service?

Queen’s Hospital’s colposcopy service takes referrals from Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge.
