Screening

Bowel Scope Screening

NHS bowel scope screening is a new test to help prevent bowel cancer. It does this by finding and removing any small growths, called polyps, in the bowel that could eventually turn into cancer.

The NHS offers bowel scope screening to all men and women aged 55.

If you have missed your appointment please contact the bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 60 60. You can find more information about bowel cancer screening here: nhs.uk/conditions/bowel-cancer-screening It is of course not mandatory to participate, but as a practice we would highly recommend that you do.

Breast Screening

If you are registered with your GP as female, you will receive your first invitation within three years of turning 50. Invitations for screening are sent automatically to women up until their 71st birthday.
