Guidelines on Failsafe Actions for the Follow-up of Cervical Cytology Reports
Published December 2004 | ISBN 1 84 4630 21 8
This new guidance is designed to ensure that reasonable and effective failsafe measures are applied consistently across the NHS Cervical Screening Programme while avoiding unnecessary duplication of administrative effort. It updates and replaces the 1992 guidance.
The guidance refers to the National Health Applications and Infrastructure Services (NHAIS) system (the Exeter system). The system is under review as part of the National Programme for Information Technology in the NHS (NPfIT) and is likely to change but is expected to offer the same functions as the current arrangements.
