Massey University was appointed in early 2005 to carry out independent monitoring for the National Cervical Screening Programme.
Independent monitoring is one of several systems the National Screening Unit uses to ensure its programmes are working well.
The university has been providing an interim monitoring service for the NCSP since the previous contract with Otago University ended in early 2004.
Cancer epidemiologist Dr Mona Jeffreys, from Massey University’s Centre for Public Health Research, will lead the monitoring work.
Regular cervical screening offers women the best chance to reduce their risk of developing cervical cancer. Massey University's input will assist with ensuring that the programme maintains its current high standard. It is imperative that women in New Zealand know they can trust the cervical screening programme. Massey University hopes its monitoring service will help achieve this.
All providers for the NCSP are contractually bound by stringent national policy and quality standards and are required to conduct monthly audits to check the accuracy of data entry against their paper clinical records. They also provide six-monthly quality plans and undergo visits by programme staff to follow-up monitoring issues.
