The core responsibility of the Cytoscreener grade is the microscopic analysis of cervical cytology specimens. An assessment is made on morphological grounds as to whether the cells observed are negative or show some degree of abnormality. Those specimens deemed negative will be reported and validated by the Cytoscreener - the report issued containing both the diagnosis and recommended management for the patient. (Based on clinical information and the patient's previous history).

Specimens showing abnormalities will be referred on for medical opinion. National guidelines specify a minimum number of slides to be assessed in a year (3000) but - due to the intensive nature of the work - analysis must not exceed a period of 4 hours in one day. (NHSCSP Publication 14, Laboratory Organisation). Cytoscreeners working over this limit will therefore carry out non-microscopical duties for the remainder of the day.
