NHSCSP No 30: Guidelines For Quality Assurance Visits In The Cervical Screening Programme PDF 520Kb

These guidelines describe the principles for the organisation of quality assurance visits in the NHS Cervical Screening Programme. They are based on the experience of regional QA teams in organising QA visits and on discussions which took place at a workshop in Birmingham in 2005 and at a series of working groups. A toolkit of proformas for QA reference centres to use as pre-visit questionnaires and as templates to record discussions at the QA visit has also been developed and is available on the internal NHSCSP website.
