BowelScreen - The National Bowel Screening Programme

The National Cancer Screening Service (NCSS) is pleased to announce the commencement of BowelScreen - The National Bowel Screening Programme.

Live testing of the programme began in October to ensure that all systems and processes operate effectively and are easy to understand and follow for participants.

BowelScreen – The National Bowel Screening Programme will initially offer free bowel screening to men and women aged 60 to 69. The programme will over time offer screening to those aged 55-74.

The National Cancer Screening Service must ensure that quality assurance and safety are paramount, that there is adequate capacity and that there is no impact on the symptomatic service.

A full website will be available in early December 2012.
