Appendix C: Types of Invitation

Call

Women invited for screening who have not previously been screened.

Routine recall

Women invited for screening in the year as a result of a routine recall for screening.

These women will have either had a previous negative cytology result or a previous negative HPV test and been recalled after the usual interval (normally 3 or 5 years).

Under the HPV triage pathway, women with a borderline or low grade cytology with an HPV-negative result will also be returned to routine recall.

Repeat recall

Women invited in the year as a result of an early repeat recall for screening.

Repeat recalls can be for the following reasons:

Surveillance
Women invited for early screening because of a previous abnormal screening result or following treatment for cervical abnormalities or a previous positive HPV test.

Abnormality
Women invited for screening because their last sample showed some abnormality and a repeat was advised.

Inadequate
Women invited for screening because their last cytology sample was inadequate or their HPV sample was unreliable.
