Health package
Colon Screening
Bowel cancer screening looks for signs of disease in people without symptoms. The appropriate approach depends on age, family history, previous findings and other risk factors.
Price:
This proposed package requires hospital approval. Rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss or a persistent change in bowel habits needs diagnostic assessment rather than reliance on screening alone.
Suitability depends on your individual medical history and your doctor's advice.
Who it may suit
- Adults discussing age-appropriate bowel cancer screening with a clinician.
- People with a family history of bowel cancer or significant polyps.
- People reviewing a previous screening result with their clinician.
- People seeking advice about screening options before choosing a test.
Tests included
- Faecal immunochemical test (FIT), where appropriate to the agreed screening pathway.
- Colonoscopy only if clinically selected and explicitly confirmed as included by the hospital.
