NHS cervical screening program - Digital results

From September 2025, the NHS will start sending cervical screening results to patients via the NHS App.

Patients who have had a negative test result will be notified via the App; However, if the message isn’t read by a patient within 72 hours, a letter will be sent to them as a failsafe.

‘Abnormal result’ letters will continue to be delivered by post to patients for the time being.

Download the NHS App, or open the NHS website in a web browser, to set up and log in to your NHS account. Owned and run by the NHS, your NHS account is a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services online.

WEIGHT LOSS MANAGEMENT - NHS ENGLAND Guidance

Who is eligible for Mounjaro from General Practice (GP) right now?

The NHS has recently released the criteria for accessing weight loss injections via your GP Surgery.

The first phase cohort (patients) eligible for Mounjaro on the NHS are *only* for those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) 40 (or above) or 37.5 if from a minority ethnic background with 4 of 5 defined comorbidities (conditions):
1. Diagnosed hypertension
2. Diagnosed sleep apnoea
3. Diagnosed type 2 diabetes
4. Diagnosed cardiovascular disease
5. Diagnosed hypercholesterolemia

If you do not have a BMI of 40 (or above) and four of the five comorbidities above, the surgery will *not* be able to prescribe you Mounjaro for weight loss management.

We have received many queries from patients wishing to see a GP to discuss their eligibility for this new service, resulting in unnecessary appointments/administration for patients that do not qualify within the NHS Weight Loss Management framework.

We have identified the patients who are eligible for the NHS weight loss management service, and we will be in contacting them directly to discuss further.

BBC New Article 23-JUN-25 for reference:

NHS England says the first patients able to get the jab will be those most in need.
