Experience Summary

With this tool we hope to:

• Provide experience of the procedure being performed.

• Provide opportunity for discussion on procedure and consultation skills.

• Provide an opportunity to practice the procedure in an immersive environment.

Trainers are to be advised that these can be used in conjunction with NHSCSP accredited training or as part of a familiarisation training session on the same subject.

Trainees are NOT qualified sample takers on the use of these tools alone.

We endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct and provide all learners with the opportunity to experience a ‘live’ Cervical screening test in virtual reality and 360° video.

It does not replace any training that should be undertaken to perform this procedure.
