From September, NHS Cervical Screening Programme will start sending results digitally via the NHS App. Patients with negative results will receive an app message and notification; if unread within 72 hours, a letter will be sent. Abnormal results will continue to be delivered by post. Actions for cervical screening providers:
- From immediate effect, please can sample takers inform patients attending cervical screening that from September their results may be delivered via the NHS App.
- Encourage patients to download the app and enable notifications.
