[Back to Top]Please note that the number of workshops have been increased to three on the advice of the Cytology Training Working Group, who strongly recommend these workshops to senior cytoscreeners and pathologists. The dates above are provisional and will be confirmed in late January.
The workshops will accommodate 18 participants each and will be subsidised by the National Cervical Screening Programme, with final cost dependant on numbers.
Please inform Diane Casey, Project Analyst, National Screening Unit re numbers of participants for the workshops and first and second preferred locations.
Diane Casey: Phone (09) 580 9039, or Email: diane_casey@moh.govt.nz
A minimum of 2 places per laboratory has been reserved to allow one pathologist and one senior cytotechnologist with a teaching / supervisory role from each laboratory to attend.
The workshops are designed for Pathologists and experienced cytoscreeners, especially those involved in teaching. All participants will receive the "Challenges in Cytology" textbook.
Ron Bowditch is a well-known scientist and educator in cytology. The programme contains a series of lectures covering the interpretation of crowded sheets, single cells and small groups, and glandular abnormalities. The practical component includes individual microscope study and facilitated multiheader sessions. The programme is based on cytological criteria but the approach examines both methods of screening as well as cytological features using practical workshops and printed material.
