All staff who intend to primary screen cervical samples in the NHSCSP must obtain the City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Cervical Cytology.

This document sets out guidance on NHSCSP requirements for training in cervical cytopathology and includes the suggested content of a slide reference library and example worksheets which may be used to supplement laboratory in house training documentation.
