Information About Cervical Screening

Posted on:

From September 2025 NHS England start sending digital results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, Utilising the NHS App.

In September, those who have a negative test result will be notified of this by an NHS App message. It will also appear as an NHS App notification. If the NHS App message isn’t read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent as a failsafe.

Abnormal results will continue, for the time being, to be sent by post.

Invites for Cervical Screening are now being sent digitally through the App, text or letter.
