Document 20 Moblle APP devolopmgnt
The mobile app was developed and launchtsd in 2017 and Is regularly downloaded from Android and Apple
stores and is a useful resouice for healthcare professionals, who care for women who need Colposcopy for th¢
evaluats'on of an abnormal cervical sample. 11 is designed ID facilitate easy access to infomiation about screening

standard5 using an engaging formal. The app was updated in July 2020 in accordance wth the new Document
20 guidelines. released in early 2020.
BSCCP W•bsltè and Elearning Platform
In May 2023 the Charity implemented a new IT infrastructure. This new plarform consists of an integrated new
website and Learning management system. The Website has a user-friendly modem content management
system whi¢h has improved the ability to provide Information on the workings of the Society as well as
information fof the wider public regarding colposcopy and cervical cancer prevents'on. The migration of historical
information and files for members to the new site proved a complex task and involved a significant amount of
lime and work for the project team including the secretarial, members of the executive and IT ¢ommille&s.
The implementation of a new payment system has provided a more slrearnlined mechanism for members lo pay
the membership fees using credit eard payment.
The adminislration of the Colposcopy Training progfafftrne, ColposGopy reaccredilalion and Trainer certification
and recertifiGalion has been moved lo a new Totara based Learning management s￿tern. This radical change
has resulted in a more streamlined approach lo these essential activities of Ihe Charity.
mprovements have included the ability of trainers to check on the progrèss of their traineés as well a5 3 system
of automatic notification when action is required by colposcopisls, trainers, or trainees. This required bespoke
dgvelopmen15 to replicate existing procedures which the project team needed to plan deliver, lesl. and review to
ensure the transition was as seamless as possible. It is anticipated that these changes wll enhance the effective
and eff￿lent working of the Charily for many years to Gome.
The plan is lo build on these developments lo deliver new and engaging conlenl to supptsrt the continuing
education of trainees, colposcopisls and trainers. This work will be delivered by the Charity's Digital Leaming
Team. In addition. the Charity needs to Continue lo deliver a robust IT governance infrastructure lo ensure
measures are proceeding as they should and to contsnue lo neel fflembers. digilal expectations.
The BSCCP website continues to be accessed by an incrèasing number of users at an international level and is
great asset to Charity. This supportive role in the WHO initiatwe lo eliminate cervical cancer remains a
pa￿CuladY important function of the Chariiy.
¢. Investment po15cy and perfomiance
The BSCCP has invèsted money in the COIF Charities Deposit Fund and money is available al Short notice
thout penalties. This account makes a small return for the Society.
In 2015 the Treasurer consulted with financial advisors lo review other investment opportunities including
investing surplus funds with inveslmenl brokers, bul the view was taken that the additional returns generated on
the risk profile the Society would be willing lo tske, after charges. were not enough ID jLJsbfy the additional risk
associated with the investrnenl.

Financial revlew
a. Rgvlew of flnances
Th6 income for the year was £469,33912022.. £428,201) with most significant variances being an increase in in
membership income of £26,907, this is a result of an increase membership fees. Membership fees are due to
increase again in 2024. therefore further income increases are expe¢led. Conference income has also
significanuy increased this year by £88,804, which is largely attributable to the increased attendance at the virtual
elemenl of the conference.
Expenditure in the year was £487,315 12022.. £444,541). The increase in expenditure can be attributed 10 8n
increase in conference expenditure, in line with the increase in uptake from delegatgs. There have also been
costs in the year in relation lo consultancy fees for the websitè development, totalling £17,200.
The n81 result f¢M the year was a surplus of £9.024 compared to a nel deficit of £16.340 in 2022. The surplus
arose as a result of the increase in membership subscriptions and a profitable conference held in 2023.
b. Risk statement and reserves policy
The Trustees have considered the risks associated with the BSCCP and conclude that the key risks are..
1. that if any of the future planned conferences do not go ahead, or a￿ the subject of an event beyond the
control of the Charity., the Charity could be left having lo fund a sub51anlial loss-
with the impa¢l of HPV v8¢cinalion which began in 2008. there may well be a significant drop in colposcopy
acliwty in the UK. and this may impact on the size of the Charity arsd its revenue-,
3. the r7ewly formed Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust ¢reales a rSsk that the
accommodation used by tho BSCCP secretariat will no longer bo availabte and altsrnaliv6 premises of
sufficient security will need lo be found al a considerable cost.- and
4. the level of spend on additional future IT Projects and additional staff costs is likely to remain high, which
could mean a depletion of reserves over the longer term if alternative sources of income are not se¢ured.
The future polenliaS move lo new premises is also likely to result in additional spend on IT infrastructure and
maintenan￿.
The Executive Team afe of the opinion that il is therefore not unreasonable lo maintain the equivBlenl of al least
one yearfs nomial expenditure in a reserve fund which equates to ¢£450,000. The Society currfyntly holds I￿8
reserves of £594,221, which is above the largel set. but will be used to fund planned in¢rsased amounts Spent
on the website and IT, including the enhancement of learning platforms for the long-term benefit tsf the Society-
In the light of this, the Executlve Team does not consider that this represents a significant problem. given the
future plans for the Society. and any changes to the reserves policy wtll be formalised at the next Executive
Team meeting.
The total reserves of the Soclety Increased from £585,197 to £594.221. Cash reserves de￿aSed frorn
£450,010 to £407.534.
