  • If you have any symptoms of bowel cancer, contact your GP to discuss even if you have a negative bowel screening test result.
  • If you’re over 60 and you have lost or damaged the testing kit you can request another kit, if you have not completed a test in the last 2 years.
  • if you’re 75 or over, you can ask for a home testing kit every 2 years by calling the free bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 60 60
