Bowel Screening

The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme offers screening every two years to all men and women aged 60 - 69. People over 70 can request a screening kit by calling a free-phone helpline when the programme reaches their area.

We will also receive a copy of the results letters sent to patients.
