Bowel cancer screening uses a test called a faecal immunochemical test (FIT) to look for blood in a sample of your poo. This could be a sign of bowel cancer.

You collect the sample at home and send it by post to be tested.

It can help find cancer early, and before you have any symptoms, which may mean it's easier to treat. Bowel cancer screening is currently offered to people aged 50 to 74 every 2 years.

This is because your risk of getting bowel cancer gets higher as you get older.

Today is World Health Day and the theme is Stand with Science.

In the modern day we often turn to social media as a first port of call when something feels wrong. Other times something shocking pops up on our feed that may make us scared for our health. With so much information available it is hard to determine fact from fiction. When looking to make choices about your health turn to sources that you trust and are backed by science. Protect your health, prevent disease, seek treatment and recovery from a licenced medical professional.

This month is Stress Awareness Month.
Stress is a bodies natural response to feeling threatened, overwhelmed or under pressure. Our bodies are signaling that something is wrong and our brain releases hormones to prepare us to deal with the threat. However, if stress becomes a daily part of life we may try to ignore our bodies signals that something is wrong rather than addressing the 'threat'. If you feel like stress is impacting your daily life SilverCloud maybe you first step to feeling better. SilverCloud can help you identify the cause of your stress and guide you in how to address and manage the trigger.
