Cervical Screening Digital Invitations

NHSE have been trialling a roll-out of digital invitations for the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, testing has gone well and NHSE expect to update further on go live in the coming weeks.

A reminder that the first stage of rollout will initially be digital invitations (not results at this stage) using the NHS app and text messages. Anyone that doesn’t read the NHS app message or where an SMS (text) can’t be delivered (including where people don’t have a recorded mobile phone), a letter will be sent as a failsafe. All invites will still direct people to book in the usual way.

If you haven’t already done so, please download the NHS app and turn on notifications: www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/

The goal is to make screening invitations more convenient, quicker, and cost-effective. This is a step toward a more accessible, agile, and participant-focused service.
