Standards

Summary

The Scottish Cervical Screening Programme (SCSP), is a population-based screening programme. It aims to reduce mortality and incidence rates from cervical cancer. We are developing standards which cover all areas of the cervical screening pathway.

These standards are a review of the 2019 Cervical Screening Standards.

A key element of developing our standards is to invite feedback.
