New ways of working
Since December 2001, the NHS Cervical Screening Programme has been instrumental in the development of new ways of working with professional scientists in the programme.
A new grade of Advanced Biomedical Scientist Practitioner has been introduced which brings additional reporting skills to the service.
These practitioners undergo substantial extra training and study culminating in a qualification by examination run jointly by the Royal College of Pathologists and the Institute of Biomedical Science.
