The NHSCSP Cervical Cytopathology Training Log and accompanying Workbook are central to the education and training of new recruits in cytology laboratories in the UK. These are currently available only in paper format and do not fully address the needs of training officers and trainees in Wales. A web‐based resource pack, which complements the NHSCSP training documents, has been developed by the Welsh Cytology Training School to address these problems. The pack consists of the following sections and has recently been posted on the Welsh intranet:• guide for training officers; • teaching aids, including handouts and ‘powerpoint’ tutorials; • image library; • worksheets; and • competency sheets.The electronic format allows for instant updating and simultaneous availability to all training officers in Wales. It has been devised in an effort to standardize the training of new cytology recruits in laboratories throughout Wales, thereby ensuring that all new trainees receive the same high‐quality education and training wherever they are employed. CPD modules in gynaecological and non‐gynaecological cytology are being developed. Samples from the resource pack will be presented.
