Job overview
Previous applicants need not apply
The Women’s Health Unit here at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are delighted to offer the opportunity for an experienced nurse with a specialised interest in gynaecology to train as a Nurse Colposcopist.
The cervical screening programme aims to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and colposcopy forms part of that programme in assessing and managing women with persistent HPV, low grade, high grade and ? invasive cervical smears. The department also assesses people with a cervix who may have lesions or symptoms which are suspicious for cervical cancer on a two week wait referral pathway.
We have a wonderful opportunity to join as a trainee within our team and make a real difference to the well being of women accessing Colposcopy Services.
Main duties of the job
The trainee will be expected to join the BSCCP and embark on their national training programme, where they will work through a period of direct , then indirect supervision, assessment and then OSCE exam to become an Accredited Colposcopist. The trainee will be fully supported by our dedicated team of Colposcopists and wider women’s health team as you progress through the programme to become an independent practitioner.
Our Women’s Health Unit and Gynaecology Outpatient department is dedicated to working with leading evidence based research and guidance to provide clinical excellence in the care provided to the patients accessing our services.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities
Colposcopy is based within The Women’s Health Unit where a number of out-patient clinics provide person centred care for women with a wide variety of gynaecological needs. These clinics include urogynaecology, colposcopy, hysteroscopy, and the termination of pregnancy service. The gynaecology outpatient department is also attached to the unit and nursing care rotates throughout the two departments.
Although usual hours of work for the women’s health unit are from Monday to Friday 08:00- 17:30 (times dependent on clinical sessions allocated) there may be occasional requirement for weekend and evening clinical sessions.
