The atlas is both a bench top training manual and a reference guide. It is intended for use by trainee cytology screeners and as an aid to all other grades of scientific and medical laboratory staff who screen and/or report cervical samples. It is anticipated that the atlas will supplement more detailed training delivered by the NHSCSP approved cytology training centres.
Images from the atlas are also available on a CD in PowerPoint and JPEG format.
Copies have been distributed to cytology training centres, cytology laboratories and QA reference centres for training and reference purposes. Please note that the atlas is a laboratory resource and copies will not be sent to individuals. Requests from laboratory training managers only for additional copies should be sent to Sharon Whitehurst at the NHSCSP Cytology Education Office.
