If your result is normal, we’ll usually invite you for screening again in 5 years. Some people may be invited sooner depending on previous test results. Your results will confirm this.

If you’ve waited longer than you expected, contact us to check if we have any updates. Try not to worry if it’s taking longer than expected to get your results. It does not mean anything is wrong, and most people will have a normal result.
