Look after No.1

Bowel cancer is the UK's 2nd biggest cancer killer.

But if detected early, it can be cured.

Make time to do the simple test that you will receive by post to your home.

It could save your life.

Yes, it's about No. 2s

If aged between 60 and 74 and registered with a GP, you will be sent your screening test kit. Collect samples from your bowel movements as instructed, then post the test back.

It's that simple.

3 times in one week,
for a few minutes

Once you've completed and posted it, the results will be returned to you within two weeks. The test does not diagnose bowel cancer but will show whether further investigation is needed.

"The kit was so easy to use.
I was diagnosed with bowel cancer but fortunately, because it was picked up so early, the prognosis is good."

Maureen

"I'm so glad I took part, as the test proved to be positive, but following successful treatment I'm feeling very well."

Roger
