April is bowel cancer awareness month

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK.
But the good news is – finding it early can save lives. The earlier it’s found, the easier it is to treat.
Screening is all about catching things before you notice any symptoms.
It only takes a few minutes, and it really can make a big difference.

Are you aged 50-74? Registered with a GP in Cheshire and Merseyside?
if you’ve misplaced your kit, or didn’t get round to doing it
You can request one here: https://www.uhliverpool.nhs.uk/services/service-finder/cancer/bowel/request-bowel-cancer-screening-kit

📞 Aged 75 or over?
You can still get a test every two years – just call the Bowel Cancer Screening Helpline on 0800 707 6060 and ask for a kit.
