If you're aged 58 to 74, please always do your bowel screening test - it could save your life!
Doing the test is free, easy and you can do it at home.
The test helps detect bowel cancer at an early stage when it can often be successfully treated.
People between 58 and 74 years old will be mailed a bowel screening test kit every two years.
If the last test kit you received has now expired or been misplaced, we can send you a new one. Simply freephone 0800 924 432, otherwise visit the National Bowel Screening Programme website
If you have symptoms such as a change in your normal bowel habit that continues for several weeks, or blood in your bowel motion (poo), see your doctor straight away - don’t wait until your next screening test.
