Helen Burrell. Consultant BMS & Training Centre Director North Bristol NHS Trust

  • Three cases reviewed as part of the cervical cancer audit
  • Cervical screening is very effective
  • Most abnormalities are picked up through screening
  • Primary screening, checking and reporting can be very challenging
  • Screening, interpretation & decision making can be influenced by many factors other than what cells are on the slide
