Intermediate and Advanced Colposcopy

Cervical cancer is the third most common malignancy in women worldwide. The UK national screening programme has been pivotal in reducing the incidence and number of deaths from this disease, with colposcopy playing an essential role in early pre-invasive diagnosis and treatment.

This course aims to cover the latest controversies and advances in the field including: the NHSCSP guidelines, the likely role of HPV testing in primary screening, an update on the HPV vaccination programme, quality assurance issues, difficult clinical management issues with interactive case presentations. Intraepithelial neoplasia of other areas of the lower genital tract will be covered.

This course is aimed at recently trained colposcopists keen to advance their knowledge and expertise as well as a refresher for those who have been practising in the field for quite some time especially for those wishing to gain re-certification. It is not suitable for those with no little or no experience in the area of colposcopy. This course would be educationally beneficial, although not mandatory, for those actively practicing colposcopy and is suitable for those wishing re-certification.
