Cervical Cytology From 18th March 2020 cervical cytology samples for all practices in Devon and Cornwall will be processed by Severn Pathology at North Bristol NHS Trust. All cervical samples sent to Severn Pathology will undergo testing for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in the first instance (HPV primary screening). The result of the HPV test determines whether or not cytology testing is also carried out. For all CERVICAL CYTOLOGY laboratory queries please contact the Cytology department at Severn Pathology: 0117 414 9889 or via email [email protected] Katherine Hunt, Lead Biomedical Scientist,Cytology Dr Karin Denton, Lead Cytopathologist Severn Pathology website Cervical Screening Requests – Open Exeter Please be aware of the following changes in the requesting process which may require action for your practice: Electronic requesting systems (including ICE and other order communications platforms) will no longer be used for cervical screening samples. Any practices currently using electronic requesting for cervical screening requests will have this functionality switched off from the date of service transfer. Any electronic requesting currently used for other pathology requests will remain unchanged. All sample takers will require access to Open Exeter and should request access from their practice manager if they do not currently have it. A guide to using Open Exeter for this purpose is attached to this communication. Electronic Reporting of Cervical Screening Results Cervical screening results will be sent electronically from Severn Pathology, North Bristol NHS Trust to all GP practice clinical systems. There may be a period of a few days where you will receive reports from both the new and previous provider on different patients. Direct Referrals from the Laboratory to Colposcopy Direct referrals will be made from the laboratory at Severn Pathology, North Bristol NHS Trust following the service transfer but practices will not notice any change in the referral process. Your patients will continue to be referred to the same colposcopy clinic as previously. Sample Taker Consumables Severn Pathology will be requesting that all cervical screening samples be transported in new bags which will have orange swirls with a white outline. The bags will be provided with the sample taker consumable kits. Existing kits and bags can be used up before switching over. The current arrangements in place for requesting sample taker kits will remain unchanged until further notice. Sample Transport Existing arrangements are expected to remain for the collection of cervical screening samples from practices for onward delivery to Bristol from a network of local hubs which will be a mixture of existing and newly created collection points. You will be notified if this changes.Common conditions covered by a Pap Test
