Cervical Screening in General Practice: Changes to self-collection eligibility and the intermediate risk pathway
From 1 July 2022, the National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP) expanded Cervical Screening Test sample collection options, offering clinician collection or self-collection as a choice to all people participating in 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.
