National Cervical Screening Program Quality Framework: cervical cancer cases from health care providers

As part of the National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP) Quality Framework, a number of parameters were determined for ongoing monitoring to ensure the NCSP remains safe and meets its expected outcomes.

There are plans to conduct Cervical Cancer Case Reviews by performing a review of the screening history of participants diagnosed with cervical cancer:

  1. classification of screening history; and
  2. classification of vaccination history.

The NCSP now has a dedicated inbox for healthcare providers to send cases of cervical cancer to, in order for the NCSP to perform this review and monitoring function.

The new inbox is NCSPnotifications@health.gov.au. Please feel free to distribute this address to other healthcare providers and start utilising this inbox as required.
