After a temporary pause, NHSE/I will be relaunching the cervical screening text reminder project across London region.
The six-month pilot was highly effective and resulted in a 5% increase in the uptake of cervical cancer screening. More detail on the results is available here https://phescreening.blog.gov.uk/2019/07/15/gp-endorsed-text-reminders-help-increase-cervical-screening-attendance-in-london/
Over the past few months we have worked with iPLATO to improve various technical elements of the project and agreed joint working arrangements with the Cervical Screening Administrative Service (CSAS) who now provide the call-recall function across England.
Download the leaflet which provides details of the results of the project and instructions on how to sign-up to the project.
