Cervical Screening

The controversy over cervical screening is no longer concerned with whether to screen, but who, how often, and how to organize this. This guide outlines information about which women should be screened and how often. Different procedures are followed both at district and primary health care level because of variation in the resources available both in personnel and equipment. The book offers practical information for GPs, receptionists, nurses, and practice managers to consider, given practice resources, alternative ways of developing effective screening programmes.
