If you're aged 50 to 74, the NHS will send you a free bowel cancer screening kit every two years. It only takes a few minutes to complete at home and could help detect bowel cancer before symptoms appear.

When your kit arrives, don't put it on the side and forget about it. Complete it and send it back. It could save your life.

The HPV vaccine is saving lives.

New research by Queen Mary University of London and Cancer Research UK shows deaths have fallen sharply since school-age girls began being offered it in 2008, and around 200 lives have been saved in England so far thanks to the vaccine.

The vaccine protects against high-risk HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer and some other cancers.

Both girls and boys can get protection from high-risk HPV by having the HPV vaccination in their teenage years. It not only protects against cervical cancer, but other types of cancer too.

You can help protect your child by giving consent for them to have their vaccination when invited.

And remember: cervical screening is still important, even if you’ve had the HPV vaccine.
