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. GPs are not directly involved in the delivery of the programme but we will be notified when invitations for bowel cancer screening are being sent out in our area. We will also receive a copy of the results letters sent to patients.
