Screening
Screening tests are a way to identify apparently healthy people who may be at increased risk of a disease or condition so they can be treated or monitored.
Types of screening tests offered in Scotland.
Bowel Screening
Scottish Bowel Screening Programme
The NHS in Scotland has a screening programme for everyone over the age of 50 years, who will receive test kits every two years to assist in the early detection of bowel cancer. The practice would urge all patients to return their kit as soon as possible after they have received it.
