NHS Cervical Screening Results Now Available on the NHS App

Posted by: philippa - Posted on:

From September 2025, the NHS will begin sending digital results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme directly to patients via the NHS App.

If your test result is negative, you’ll receive a message within the NHS App, which will also trigger a notification. If the message isn’t read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent to you as a failsafe.

For now, abnormal test results will continue to be sent by post.

This update follows the successful rollout of digital invitations and reminders earlier in June 2025, when the NHS confirmed that 9 out of every 10 invitations are now being sent digitally, with the remainder still sent by letter.

We encourage all patients to download the NHS App and enable notifications so that you don’t miss important updates.
