Bowel cancer screening is a test you do at home that checks for signs of bowel cancer. It's offered to everyone aged 50 to 74 every two years. Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancer, if we can help find cancer early, before you have any symptoms, it may mean it is easier to treat.
Bowel cancer screening uses a test called a faecal immunochemical test (FIT) to look for blood in a sample of your poo. This could be a sign of bowel cancer. You collect the sample at home and send it by post to be tested.
The Harrogate Leeds and York Bowel Screening Programme have created this video to help patients understand why it is so important.

You might have seen on the news that flu rates locally are rising. We are seeing lots of patients with cold/cold/flu symptoms at the moment. We would ask, that if able, you wear a mask if attending the surgery with flu like/respiratory (cough/wheeze) symptoms. The majority of cough/cold symptoms are caused by a viral illness and you will improve in a few days (around a week or so) with self care measures. You can buy remedies from supermarkets or ask your local pharmacy for advice. See the NHS website for more tips: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/flu/ https://www.nhs.uk/symptoms/cough/
