Have you had your NHS bowel cancer screening test yet?

If you’re between 50-74 and registered with a GP you will automatically be sent your screening kit through the post every two years. It’s easy to do, and you can complete it yourself in the privacy of your own bathroom.

If you think you’re eligible and haven’t had a kit sent to you, you can call the bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 6060.

Bowel cancer screening finds bowel cancer before you’ve noticed any symptoms, which means it’s much easier to treat.
