CERVICAL CANCER CARE PDI
Our mission is 'The Elimination of Cervical Cancer Through Excellence in Education'
Cervical cancer kills many women each year and can be prevented through regular cervical screening. Following education and training for nurses and doctors, regular update training is essential. Since 2000, PDI has been commissioned by Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to train over 3,000 nurses and doctors in cervical sample taking in accordance with the NHS Cancer Screening Programme standards. Our foundation course for new sample takers runs over two days and is without exception consistently highly evaluated, involving a range of consultants and experts.
In addition to our face to face basic and update cervical sample taker courses we have recognised the difficulties and costs involved in leaving the workplace to attend these courses. We now offer an excellent option to update online. Since 2009, our innovative online cervical sample takers update has been accessed from all over the UK and beyond.
