Don't put off your bowel cancer screening - it could save your life!
Two thirds of people who were sent a bowel cancer screening kit last year completed it. Finding bowel cancer early makes it easier to treat.
The NHS bowel cancer screening kit can detect signs of cancer before you notice anything is wrong.
Bowel cancer screening is currently offered to everyone aged 54 to 74 every two years. It will soon be offered to everyone aged 50 to 74, so you may be sent a home test kit now if you're aged 50 or over.
If you are worried about your bowel movements or notice any sudden changes, please speak to your GP, regardless of your age.
