All registered GPs (except some salaried GPs) have a cervical sample taker code which is automatically generated by our laboratory IT system which uses their name to raise a code. In other words the GPs name and sample taker code are linked. We haven’t issued the actual code for this reason but GPs can of course contact the laboratory for their code if they wish. Salaried GPs will need to contact the laboratory to see if they have an automatic code, or need to request one.
Please note: NHS England are sending out a survey regarding sample taker codes, so please do not include GP’s (except salaried GPs) in your response.
