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.
Consultation survey
A key element of developing our standards is to invite feedback.
The consultation on the draft standards closes on 25 November 2024.

Standard 1: Call-recall 13
Standard 2: Attendance and uptake 17
Standard 3: Sample taking 20
