Overview

The aim of the NHS Cervical Screening Programme NHSCSP is to reduce the number of women who develop cervical cancer and improve morbidity outcomes.  This is achieved by offering regular screening to women so that conditions which might otherwise develop into cervical cancer can be identified and treated.  Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia CIN are pre-cancerous changes on the cervix and can be detected on the cervical cytology sample.
