BC is transitioning from cytology (Pap test) to HPV testing as the primary screening method for cervical cancer.

To support your patients, you can order patient support materials and supplies from BC Cancer.

Ordering supplies

Cervix self-screening swabs are available on the Cervix Screening Supplies online system for physicians and clinics to order. This is the same system currently used to order liquid-based cytology (Pap test) supplies.

If your clinic has not used the Cervix Screening Supplies online system before, enroll your clinic by completing the Cervix Screening Supplies registration form.

Ordering materials

Cervix screening brochures, fact sheets, and posters are also available at no charge from BC Cancer Screening. Translated materials are available in several languages.

Order materials here.

Other resources

A number of other resources for physicians can be found on the BC Cancer Cervix Screening website. To help you prepare for the transition to HPV primary screening, the BC Cancer Cervix Screening Program invites you to:
