NHS Service Access – Winter 2025/26
This Winter, Your NHS Is Closer Than You Think
This winter, the NHS is encouraging people get the right care, in the right place, at the right time and to keep emergency services free for those who need them most.
Whether you're managing a long-term condition, caring for a loved one, or simply need advice for an unexpected health concern, there are more ways than ever to access NHS services quickly, easily, and on your terms.
Here’s how the NHS is helping you take control of your health this winter:
• The NHS App puts essential services at your fingertips. You can order repeat prescriptions, manage appointments, receive reminders, and even check your health records, all from your phone.
• Online GP contact forms mean you can skip the 8am phone queue. Submit your request through your practice’s website and your local surgery team will get back to you, without needing to call.
• Your local pharmacist can help with a wide range of minor health issues. They are trained to offer oral contraceptives, the emergency contraceptive pill, and prescription medicines, if needed, for seven common conditions the same day.
• NHS 111 is available 24/7 by phone, online, or via the NHS App. It offers trusted medical advice for urgent health needs and can direct you to the most appropriate local service when your GP is unavailable.
The NHS wants to see you and there is a range of ways to access health services to get the care you need. Your NHS is closer than you think.

A reminder that from this month, the NHS plans to start sending normal results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, digitally utilising the NHS App. Normal results are those where the patient is put back into recall within the programme and don’t require referral to colposcopy.

This change follows the successful rollout of digital invitations and reminders in June 2025, where since the launch, 9 out of every 10 invitations are being sent digitally, with the remainder being sent by post.

Those who have a normal test result will be notified of this by an NHS App message. It will appear as an NHS App notification, and if someone doesn’t have notifications switched on for the NHS App, they may also receive an SMS message to remind them to check the NHS App.

If the NHS App message isn’t read within 72 hours of delivery or if the patient doesn’t have the NHS App, a letter will be sent as a failsafe.

Abnormal result letters (those that involve referral to colposcopy) will continue for the time being to be delivered by post. However, we are aware that some patients may see their cervical screening test result (either normal or abnormal) via the NHS App under GP Health Records or they may receive a colposcopy appointment via the NHS App before they receive their formal communications. This is because the NHS App is linked to the results being sent from the screening laboratory to the GP practice. If the patient has signed up to access their medical records, all test results would be accessible to the patient.
