We at the BSCCP recognise that referral to colposcopy can be a worrying time for women. Getting as much information as possible on what to expect is very important. Your doctor and the colposcopy clinic will have written information available and this can be helpful especially with regard to the specifics of your local clinic. Information using video has also been shown to be useful.  The BSCCP are grateful to the Whittington Hospital who has given permission to show it on our website.
