You feel fine but still want to check

Bowel screening is designed for people who may not have warning signs but want to take a proactive step. The test checks your stool sample for hidden blood, which can be a sign that further investigation is needed.

Early screening can help identify when follow-up may be needed, even before obvious symptoms appear.
