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.

This half-term, parents and carers across the Black Country are being encouraged to check their child’s vaccination record and book any missed appointments ✅

📍 Local catch-up clinics are available, making it easy to get children protected without missing school time.

Vaccinations offered at these clinics include:
• MMR (measles, mumps and rubella)
• MenACWY (meningitis A, C, W and Y)
• DTaP/IPV (diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio)
• HPV (human papillomavirus, where age-appropriate)

If you’re not sure whether your child is up to date, don’t worry – the team will check and advise you when you book.

Vaccinations help protect your child from serious illnesses and reduce the spread of infection in schools and the wider community.

Appointments are required, so please contact your local clinic to book ➡️ https://orlo.uk/wUXaI

Contact your GP to book your vaccine or speak to a member of staff at the care home ✅
