💬 Cervical screening updates – how you’ll get your results

Did you know you can now receive some of your cervical screening results through the NHS App?

If your results mean you need an appointment for further checks (called colposcopy), you may be notified through the app first.

📱 Here’s how it works:

You’ll get a notification in the NHS App when your result is ready
If you don’t open it within 24 hours (for urgent results), a letter will be sent to you

For other messages, a letter will be sent if the app message isn’t opened within 72 hours

You might also get a text message to let you know

📩 Most screening invites are now sent digitally too, making it quicker and easier to stay up to date.

If you don’t use the NHS App, don’t worry — you’ll still receive letters by post. 💚💙

Medicines are a vital part of looking after our health — helping to treat illness, manage long-term conditions, and improve quality of life. But to get the best results, medicines need to be used safely and effectively.

Stress is your body’s natural response to pressure or change.

Everyone experiences it differently, and the way you respond is shaped by who you are, what you’ve been through, and the support you have around you.
