📱 Cervical Screening Updates from the NHS

The NHS is now sending cervical screening invitations, reminders and many results digitally through the NHS App. If you have the app downloaded, you’ll receive a notification when your results are ready.

Digital messages are helping people book and attend screening appointments more quickly. This digital transformation supports the NHS commitment to put patients in control of their own healthcare, making it easier to manage appointments and health needs.

Please remember to attend your cervical screening when invited – it’s an important step in preventing cervical cancer.

If a bus arrives already full, the answer isn’t to open more doors and create more queues. 🚍

General Practice is the same. Simply increasing access without increasing capacity puts pressure on staff and risks patient safety. Blaming the “driver” doesn’t fix the problem.

A better solution?
✔️ Allow GPs and practice teams to work safely
✔️ Protect time for safe, high-quality care
✔️ Invest in more clinicians and support staff

Patient safety depends on sustainable workloads. Let’s focus on real solutions that benefit everyone.
