GPNI in collaboration with PHA provided Cervical Sample Taker Update training in 2023. There have been changes since then and so we have organised 2 new sessions. We hope that participants can join the live webinars where possible; however both sessions will also be recorded and uploaded online on the GPNI Website.
Attending both sessions (or viewing both recordings) will meet the requirements for cervical sample taker update training.
The sessions will be delivered on 18th and 25th June, from 1pm – 2.30pm, providing an overview of the key stages across the cervical screening programme pathway. The sessions will include contributions from colleagues across the programme, including PHA, Call/Recall (BSO), the Cervical Screening Regional Laboratory and Colposcopy.
Key topics will include:
-The transition to a regional laboratory
-Practical guidance on ensuring samples are appropriately prepared for laboratory processing
– An overview of who is not routinely called for cervical screening
-Referral pathways and management within Colposcopy
The aim is to help sample takers strengthen their knowledge, improve practice and ensure the quality and consistency of cervical screening services.
