Free Bowel Cancer Screening
Bowel Screening is designed to find bowel cancer early in those people who don’t have any symptoms.
This simple, clean and free test kit is sent to the home of 60 – 74 year olds, who, on completing the test, and the consent form, pop it in the post to the lab.
Within 3 weeks you will be contacted with your results and told what this means for you. If you require any follow-up tests or treatment this is FREE within the public health system.
