What to expect?
The training is in two parts – a theoretical course plus a period of mentored practical training. The theoretical course runs three times a year in the Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire region.
Practical training will take place in the trainee’s place of work and must be supervised by an appropriate nominated mentor. Trainees must also visit a cytology laboratory and a colposcopy clinic local to their practice during their training. All training must be completed within a nine-month period, and it is important that students and their employers do not underestimate the level of commitment this programme of learning requires.
