Education and upskilling opportunity: Changes to self-collection eligibility and the intermediate risk pathway education

The PHN excited to host an online event focusing on the July 2022 changes to the National Cervical Screening Program, specifically the expansion to Cervical Screening Test sample collection options. These changes now allow all people with a cervix who are eligible to participate in cervical screening, the option of clinician collected or self-collected cervical screening.

Expanding the option of self-collection to all participants is hoped to be a game changer in cervical cancer elimination, improve access to screening, and close the screening gap for under-screened and never screened people.

This event will focus on:

  • self-collection eligibility policy changes from 1 July 2022 and discuss self-collection exclusions according to National clinical guidelines,
  • utilising appropriate referral pathways including when participants should be referred onto specialists and
  • discuss what changes were made to the intermediate risk clinical pathway in February 2021 including changes to referral recommendations.
