A Simple Guide to the Language Used in Cervical Screening Now Available

(21 Dec 2009)

A Simple Guide to the Language used in Cervical Screening is now available from the CervicalCheck Smeartaker Training Unit. This simple guide has been developed to support CervicalCheck smeartakers, in the primary care setting.

Having a smear test can be an anxious time for a woman and it is important that smeartakers clearly explain the process and clinical results using simple language that is easy to understand.

This guide has been designed in an easy to use format and includes information on the CervicalCheck Programme, cervical screening and smear tests and information on results and follow-up.

Copies of this guide will be distributed to contracted smeartakers and are available from the CervicalCheck Smeartaker Training Unit stu@cervicalcheck.ie .
