In Ireland, everyone age 59 to 69 can get free bowel cancer screening.
This can help find bowel cancer before you get symptoms. If bowel cancer is found early, it’s easier to treat and there’s a better chance of recovery.
We post a screening test to you. You take a sample of your poo (stool sample) with our home testing kit. It's easy to use. You send the kit back to us and we test your poo for blood.
Contact your GP if you have symptoms.
