Title:

Primary HPV screening for sample takers

Description:

The implementation of primary hrHPV testing places special demands on a range of staff working within the NHSCSP.

Sample takers have an important role in ensuring women understand the concept of hrHPV testing and the results of their screen. This national primary care e-learning module on screening using primary hrHPV testing has been developed for sample takers working in the NHSCSP. It may also be a useful resource for colposcopy nurses, as women often have questions about hrHPV testing on attendance at colposcopy.
