NHS Cervical Screening Results
NHS Cervical Screening Normal Results will be available on 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.
