Cervical Screening Provider Course- Shine SA

Our Cervical Screening Provider course includes an online learning module and short assessment and a face-to-face workshop followed by clinical training.

Participants who work within a general practice or community health service and who require cervical screening skills as part of their practice will benefit most from the course. 

Participants will:

• Develop a deeper understanding of the National Cervical Screening Program guidelines
• Learn how to approach consultation and opportunistic STI testing
• Engage with practical learning demonstrations
• Develop clinical skills with the support of a Sexual Health Teaching Associate.

Note: Nurses, midwives and Aboriginal Health Practitioners must have support from their workplace to provide cervical screening as participants will not receive a Medicare provider number on completion of this course.

Theory Component

The theory component includes:

• an online learning module
• a full day face-to-face workshop.

The workshop covers:

• National Cervical Screening Program guidelines
• Cervical screening consultation
• opportunistic STI testing
• clinical skills development with a Sexual Health Teaching Associate (the teaching associate supports you to practice skills on a person).

Note: Nurses, midwives, and Aboriginal Health Practitioners must register for one of the clinical training options to be able to become cervical screening providers.  The theory-only option can be selected as a refresher for current Cervical Screening Providers or for education purposes only.

Medical practitioners/GPs may elect to complete the theory-only but may also benefit from completing the clinical component.
