The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather

Since the first national test of the system in April 2023, five alerts have been sent, including during major storms when lives were at risk. The government will be running a second national test on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm

When it is tested (and used live time) it will send a loud, siren-like sound and a distinct vibration to all mobile phones, we just wanted to make you aware that this will be happening.

From September, the NHS plans to start sending digital results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, utilising the NHS App

In September, those who have a negative test result will be notified of this by an NHS App message. It will also appear as an NHS App notification. If the NHS App message isn’t read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent as a failsafe.

Abnormal result letters will continue, for the time being, to be sent by post.

Approximately 40% of people in England are not currently meeting the UK Chief Medical Officers’ recommended guidelines for physical activity. However, summer is a great time for all ages to get active and incorporate more movement into daily routines, and any amount of activity is beneficial. For those not currently very active, it's recommended to try starting with just a few minutes of active movement a day, and to gradually build this up over time.
