The Backbone of Cytology Training
NEPSEC is one of the very few UK Approved Cytology Training Providers in the UK, formed in 2016. Hosted by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHSFT, the NEPSEC staff have a wealth of experience in Cytology and the NHS Cervical Screening Programme (NHSCSP). The training centre aims to become the backbone of cytology and cellular pathology training, creating and maintaining a centre of excellence. Drawing on many years’ experience, we deliver a cohesive approach ensuring training content is continually updated to meet national standards and best practice.
NEPSEC courses also cover elements of histology and haematology, and we continue to review and extend our course repertoire to meet the needs of users.
Our NEPSEC team offer courses utilising a combination of remote and on-site learning. Our training facility is in Wakefield with ease of access by road or rail.
