NHS Cervical Screening Programme – Digital results
From September, NHS England plans to start sending results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme directly to patients via their NHS app.
Patients who receive a negative test result will be notified by an NHS app notification. If the NHS app notification has not been read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent to the registered address.
Any abnormal results will continue to be delivered by letter.
To receive notifications in the NHS App, you will need to turn them on in the App and in your phone settings. Please see the guide below for help turning these on.
