British Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology

The Society, which celebrated it's fiftieth anniversary in 2022, represents a common forum for the discussion and debate of all matters pertaining to the prevention of cancer of the cervix.

By its very nature the Society is multidisciplinary, a fact that almost certainly explains its strengths and continued growth. Members find membership, and particularly attendance at the Annual Scientific Meeting, a major influence in their practice and a key feature of their postgraduate education.

Change affects all branches of healthcare and cervical disease is no exception. The balance between basic science, epidemiology, clinical care and service/patient interface is a characteristic of the Society and is typified by the high standard and variety of papers presented at the Annual Scientific Meeting. Many of these presentations are available for viewing on the resources page of this website.

The BSCCP plays an important role in the training of colposcopists and ensuring a supply of high quality trained individuals to support the delivery of effective services. It has developed a training infrastructure to support this training and to ensure that colposcopists have an opportunity to stay up to date.
