The NHS bowel cancer screening kit can detect signs of cancer before you notice anything is wrong.

If you’re sent a bowel cancer screening kit, put it by the loo. Don’t put it off.

📝 Are you ‘Back to School’ ready?

If your child has missed any of their routine vaccinations, don’t worry - it’s never too late to get back on track. Vaccines can be safely given at any time, and your child doesn’t need to start the schedule over. They can simply pick up from where they left off.

Staying up to date with vaccinations helps protect your child and those around them from serious illnesses.

Contact your GP practice to arrange a catch-up appointment.
