Remember: ✅Screening is for people who are well - if you have worrying symptoms, visit your GP 😢Uptake of bowel screening is low - please encourage everyone in the age range to do the test 😊If you do it once, it is much easier next time round! 💩Bowel cancer is shite, trust me
People aged 58 are now eligible for #BowelScreen. BowelScreen is for everyone aged 58 to 70. This is the third age range expansion of BowelScreen since October 2023. Read our press release: https://t.co/d7htGRhxGB

Health services usually look at high DNA (did not attend) rates as being the "fault" of patients. Wouldn't it be great if the service was planned to suit its users, and adapted to their needs?

Healthcare services can continue to insist on driving to a schedule that suits them, but only a few people will be able to keep up. The others will either choose a different route, or crash out entirely.
