“Screening is one of the best ways to detect the disease early, so it’s brilliant to see celebrities like Alan and Tommy getting on board helping to raise awareness and encouraging others to have open conversations about bowel cancer" - Genevieve Edwards, our Chief Executive. Put it by the loo, don't put it off. NHS England is encouraging anyone who has been sent a bowel cancer screening kit to complete the test – just a tiny sample detects signs of the disease before you notice anything wrong.
