Strategy for colposcopy training

Doctors and nurses can train in colposcopy in the BSCCP training scheme. This is a structured training programme that is a trainee-led and competency based. There is a theoretical syllabus. The practical programme includes:
1. Direct supervision of 50 colposcopy cases.
2. Indirect supervision of 100 colposcopy cases.
3. Completion of the Electronic Colposcopy log book
4. Completion of work based assessments.
5. Histopathological and Cytopathological sessions.

Completion of the programme requires the trainee to pass an OSCE examination and leads to the award of the RCOG/ BSCCP Certificate in Colposcopy

Institutions to deal with Abnormal Screening-Results

Cervical screening is performed in primary care usually by nurse practitioners. Women with an abnormal smear are referred to a colposcopy clinic. The standards are set by the NHS CSP (NHSCSP 20 (2nd edition) Colposcopy and Programme Management: Guidelines for the NHS Cervical Screening Programme Published May 2010 (2nd edition) | ISBN 978 1 84463 069 1.
