Had my Screening yesterday at lunch time,told I will here by letter in about a fortnight. Well late this afternoon I received a text saying my result was available via a link to NHS App. This was very quick result.

I got sent the same after mine, and the usual letter came through the letterbox about a week later. By then, of course, I already knew the result.

Wow. My problem is finding someone to contact at the eye clinic to ask. The medical staff are usually brilliant but the admin system seems designed to thwart attempts to reach them. I hope Leeds start using the text and App. They do send letters to the GP but don't often send them to the patient and so I have to go on the GP's website to even read the letter.

I’d be checking the GP site or NHS app regularly when I’m expecting results anyway, do you not do that?

I think that is what I said but nothing on the NHS App. It is on the GP's website.

You seemed surprised that you didnt see documents uploaded there unless you checked though, when that is the standard process

The surprise was at the speed and my hospital does not send reports to the NHS App.
