Bowel Screening
Bowel Screening Wales is responsible for the NHS bowel screening programme in Wales.
Bowel screening aims to find cancer at an early stage when treatment is likely to be more effective. Early detection is key. At least 9 out of 10 people will survive bowel cancer if it’s found and treated early.
The test kit is designed to measure how much blood is in your poo and can be completed at home. Once you have sent your test your results will be back with you within two weeks. Men and women aged between 60 and 74, and who are living in Wales are invited to take the test every two years.
