Bowel scope screening

The national screening programme no longer offers routine bowel scope screening.

A bowel scope is when a healthcare professional uses a tube with a camera to look inside your bowel.

Instead, the national screening programme is offering more people a home test.

Bowel cancer screening research

Our bowel cancer screening service works with UCL Behavioural Science Department on numerous research projects.
