Welcome to the Challenges in Cytology Application.
The New South Wales (NSW) Cervical Screening Program has
been funded jointly by the Australian and NSW State Governments to reduce the
burden of death and ill health attributed to cervical cancer in women in NSW,
Australia. It does this by promoting increased participation in cervical
screening and the provision of quality services for women in the taking and
reading of Pap tests and in the follow up of screen detected abnormalities.
Optimising pathology laboratories' contribution to cervical
screening is a key objective of the NSW Cervical Screening Program. To this end
it works in partnership with cytology laboratories and cyto-professionals to
develop initiatives to support quality improvement in laboratory performance.
This educational program aimed at improving recognition of difficult high grade
lesions is one such initiative.
The NSW Cervical Screening Program has taken advantage of
the rapid growth in the use of the Internet, which underpins the emergence of
the Information Economy to develop a series of Cytology E-Learning modules to
assist laboratory professionals enhance their learning experience in the area of
recognising difficult high grade lesions.
The NSW Cervical Screening Program welcomes you to this
innovative E-Learning approach to recognising difficult high grade cervical
cytology lesions. We hope you find it rewarding. |
