April is Bowel Cancer awareness month

Did you know?

The bowel cancer screening programme now includes everyone over 50.

Bowel cancer is the UK’s fourth most common cancer but if diagnosed at the earliest stages, bowel cancer is treatable and curable.

The bowel cancer screening programme now includes everyone over 50. You’ll automatically be sent an NHS Bowel Screening Kit when you become eligible.

Regular screening can detect early signs of bowel cancer, even before symptoms appear.
