Berkshire Bowel Cancer Screening
Starting April 08
Approval has recently been gained to offer Bowel Cancer Screening to the population of Berkshire aged between 60 and 69 years. The programme will not be applicable to all patients particularly if they have had previous bowel problems.
An invitation letter will be sent to patients by the Hub in Guildford informing them that they will be sent a faecal occult blood (FOB) test kit for them to complete in the privacy of their own home. Two weeks later the patients will receive a further letter together with a test kit and instructions as to how to use this. The kit is then returned in a freepost envelope to the Hub in Guildford.
Results will normally be sent to the patient within a week
