NHS Cervical Screening Administration Service
The National Cervical Screening Programme aims to reduce the number of people developing cervical cancer by detecting pre-malignant changes in the uterine cervix. Women and people with a cervix aged 25-64 years are eligible for inclusion in the NHS Cervical Screening Programme.
The Cervical Screening Administration Service (CSAS), which is provided by North of England Care System Support (NECS), supports the National Cervical Screening Programme by:
- Sending out invitation and reminder letters to patients eligible for cervical screening tests
- Manually processing laboratory test results that the system was unable to automatically match to a patient
- Notifying patients of test results once we receive these from laboratories
- Updating a patient’s Next Test Due Date (NTDD) from colposcopy discharge lists
More information about the national screening programme is available at NHS Cervical Screening Programme (NHSCSP).
