Bowel Cancer Screening Kit
Don’t put it off!
In a new ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign that is the first of its kind nationally, NHS England is encouraging people who have been sent an NHS bowel cancer screening kit to complete the test.
Detecting bowel cancer at the earliest stage makes you up to nine times more likely to be successfully treated. So, the NHS is asking everyone who has been sent an NHS bowel cancer screening kit to complete it. The test detects signs of cancer before you notice anything wrong, is simple to complete and can be done in the privacy of your own bathroom. If you’re sent a bowel cancer screening kit… Put it by the loo. Don’t put it off!
