Westminster Suite, QEII Conference Centre, London
EFC Colposcopy Workshop
09:00-16:30
Aims
The aim is to provide an introduction to colposcopic methodology.
Objectives
At the end of the course the participant should:
•
have an understanding of cervical neoplasia natural history of cervical cancer
anatomy metaplasia (including CTZ), dysplasia cervical cancer screening/ relevance of cytology to colopsocpic
findings
•
understand how the colposcopic image is formed and its significance explanation of the components
of the colposcopic image significance of the squamo-columnar junction variations in vasculature
understanding of what aceto-whitening is and represents correlation of colposcopic findings with histology /
cytology
•
have a basic competence in colposcopic image recognition normal cervix squamo-columnar junction
low-grade pre-invasive abnormality high-grade pre-invasive abnormality invasive
•
have an understanding of the role of colposcopy in clinical management practical guide to
methodology damage limitation – to enable conservative management concept of adequate colposcopy and
when colposcopy has limited value audit/quality assurance
•
be able to formulate a management plan on the basis of a colposcopic examination
