    1. KENT PRIMARY CARE AGENCY CERVICAL SCREENING PROGRAMME

    2. What is the role of the Kent Primary Care Agency? There are 1.7 million patients registered with GPs in Kent. Of these, 419,000 are women eligible for cervical screening We send out approximately 212,000 call and recall letters to women each year We notify approximately 116,000 women each year of their results 81% of eligible women are being screened in Kent

    3. What is the recall interval? Women are recalled in 3 or 5 years time, depending on age and the result of the last test 25-49 year olds are recalled every 3 years 50-64 year olds are recalled every 5 years

    4. What is a prior notification list? An electronic prior notification list is produced for the practice when a patient is due for a test The prior notification list gives an opportunity for practices to tell KPCA of any women they feel should not be sent an invitation. The data is viewed via the ‘Open Exeter’ website. This website can also be used to print HMR101 forms, view test results and cytology history

    5. After prior notification lists replies have been received at KPCA KPCA staff make any necessary amendments Four weeks after the prior notification list has been produced invitation letters are sent out regardless of any ‘non returns’ The letters can be for a first call, routine recall, early recall or for a patient previously suspended from the programme

    6. The test The test is taken at the surgery or clinic, and sent to one of three laboratories in Kent The result is sent to the GP/clinic and to KPCA via an electronic link KPCA sends a result letter to the patient by first class post

    7. Non responders If no test result is received by KPCA within 16 weeks a reminder letter is sent to the patient. In ‘early recall’ cases the interval is 12 weeks If there is still no test result received by KPCA a non responder notification is sent to the GP The GP should now invite the patient The patient’s recall date is automatically reset at end of a further 12 weeks if all invitation attempts have failed
