Bowel Cancer Screening
/in Announcements, News /by Michele IzzoYour next poo could save your life
We are supporting a London-wide campaign to encourage more patients to do their free NHS bowel cancer screening home test, which checks if you could have bowel cancer.
People who are the right age are sent a free NHS FIT (Faecal Immunochemical Test) kit every two years. You use it to collect a small sample of poo and post it back to an NHS lab.
The campaign by NHS London, “Your next poo could save your life”, urges more people to use their kit – a message we wholeheartedly endorse.
Screening can help prevent bowel cancer and find it at an early stage when it’s easier to treat. People who complete their screening are 25% less likely to die of bowel cancer.
The kits are for people with no symptoms and most people get the all-clear.
If you are aged 56, 58 (on or after 16 May 2022) or 60 to 74 and we have your correct address, you will be sent a kit every 2 years. Please use it. By April 2025, bowel cancer screening kits will be for everyone aged 50 to 74 in England.
To find out more and hear from other Londoners about their experience of bowel cancer screening, visit www.healthylondon.org/bcs If you have symptoms of bowel cancer which last for three weeks or more, please contact the practice and ask for an appointment.
Polio Rise – Update
/in Announcements, News /by Michele IzzoYou may be aware that traces of the polio virus have been found in sewage in London Boroughs and the best way to protect children is to make sure they are fully up to date with their vaccinations.
A letter from NHS England went out to all parents/carers in the 32 London Boroughs with children aged between 1-9 late last week inviting them to receive a dose of vaccine against polio, for some this will be an additional dose, for others who are not up to date with their routine vaccinations it will be a catch-up dose. Those that should have recieved one of these letters can book in a polio vaccine now.
