Cervical Screening Results – Now on the NHS App

From September 2025, you’ll be able to get your cervical screening results even more quickly and easily.

If your result is negative (normal), it will be sent straight to you through the NHS App, with a notification popping up on your phone or tablet.

Don’t worry if you miss it – if you haven’t read the message within 72 hours, a letter will still be sent by post as a backup. Any abnormal results will continue to arrive by post, just as they do now.

To get your results on the app, simply:

Download the NHS App at www.nhs.uk/nhs-app

Switch on notifications so you don’t miss an update

This is a simple way to get your results faster, securely, and in a way that’s convenient for you.
