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
The doctors and practice nurses are very happy to give advice and discuss problems over the phone. However, it may sometimes be difficult to be sure on the phone and you may be asked to come to the Surgery later.
Generally the receptionists can advise you about telephone consultations; The practice nurses have allocated telephone time between 1200-1300 hours Monday to Friday so wherever possible please contact them on 01635 279971 during this time.
For advice from a doctor, please ring 01635 279972. Please note the doctor should return your call on the same day, however, the Surgery is unable to specify the time. If you leave your details the doctors or nurses will ring back later.
For confidentiality reasons it is practice policy not to leave messages on answer phones or voicemail. Similarly we block caller ID display. Please ensure you notify us should your telephone number change so that we may update our records.
