Clinical Trial Summary

Cervical cancer screening is offered to all women in the United Kingdom (UK) between the ages of 24.5 and 64 years of age. The majority of screening is performed in primary care and the rate remains stubbornly below 80%, despite an automated national invitation system. This study is designed to assess the effectiveness of a physician invitation during a telephone or face-to-face primary care appointment upon non responders of automated invitations, to increase the uptake of cervical screening.


Description:

It is estimated that between 800 and 2,000 deaths a year are now prevented due to the effectiveness of the UK's national cervical screening programme and mortality rates have dropped by over 75% since the 1970s. These statistics corroborate the importance of the screening programme in reducing mortality from cervical cancer. Cervical screening rates in the UK remains stubbornly below 80% and interventions are needed to attract the 20% who are missing out on screening. This prospective observational study is designed to measure the impact of a physician intervention in a usual healthcare environment, amongst a heterogeneous patient population to yield replicable real-world results. The intervention arm will receive a physician intervention to inform them of their overdue screening status, remind them of the importance of cervical screening and guide them to book a screening appointment. The screening rate in the intervention arm will be compared to a control made up of patients seen by other clinicians and receiving unstructured reminders. The results will assist physicians in deciding whether a structured intervention is anymore effective than the unstructured advice currently given at improving screening rates in the non responder population.
