NHS bowel cancer screening kits are offered to everyone aged between 50 and 74.

They can help find cancer early, before you even have any symptoms. And the earlier cancer is found, the easier it can be to treat.

When your kit arrives, put it by the loo. Don’t put it off.

Let someone else know they should send their kit back – especially as April is Bowel Cancer Awareness month.

🐣 Easter reminder: order your repeat prescriptions early

With the Easter bank holidays coming up, GP practices and many pharmacies will be closed or running reduced hours.

If you take regular medication, please check what you have now and order your repeat prescription in good time. This helps you avoid running out and reduces pressure on urgent services over the holiday weekend.

You can order repeat prescriptions easily:

• Online through your GP practice
• Using the NHS App
• By contacting your GP practice directly

A little planning now can save a lot of worry later.
