Why this matters

Bowel cancer screening and awareness can mean different things to different people. For some it may provide reassurance, while for others it may bring questions or uncertainty.

Hearing from people with lived experience can help to:

  • increase understanding of bowel screening and how it works
  • build confidence in taking part in screening when invited
  • raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer
  • encourage earlier conversations with healthcare professionals
  • support informed decisions about seeking medical advice.
