April is month 👇

We’ve found that a third of people who receive a bowel cancer screening test in the UK don’t complete it 🚨

Bowel screening helps spot bowel cancer before symptoms start, when it’s more treatable. A screening kit will be sent to you every two years in the post if you’re within the age range for the screening programme and registered with a GP.

This is between 50-74 in England, Scotland and Wales and between 60-74 in Northern Ireland.

This Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, we want everyone who receives their free bowel cancer screening test to complete and return it as soon as possible.

If you have any questions about screening, you can contact our nurses through our Ask the Nurse service: https://bit.ly/42sJThP
