Bowel cancer screening Posted or Updated on 11 Mar 2025

The bowel cancer screening programme now includes everyone over the age of 50 across the South West of England. You’ll automatically be sent an NHS Bowel Screening Kit when you become eligible. It’s the most important post you’ll receive, so don’t ignore it.

Regular screening can detect early signs of bowel cancer, even before symptoms appear. To find out more, search: ‘NHS Bowel Cancer Screening’ or visit peninsulacanceralliance.nhs.uk/bowel-cancer-screening.
