The renewed NCSP requires all colposcopists to report a minimum data set to the National Cancer Screening register (NCSR). A colposcopy subgroup of the NCSP Quality and Safety monitoring Committee has defined the minimum data set required as part of the Quality Framework for the NCSP.
The examination of the cervix and vagina with a magnifying instrument called a colposcope, to check for abnormalities.
A database of identifiable persons containing defined demographic and health information, established for a specific purpose. In the case of cervical screening or other cancer screening registers, the purpose includes inviting eligible persons for screening, sending reminders when they are overdue for screening, follow up of abnormalities, statistical reporting and research.
National Cervical Screening Program
A joint program of the Australian, state and territory governments. It aims to reduce morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer, in a cost-effective manner through an organised approach to cervical screening. The program encourages women in the target population to have regular Pap smears.
