Bowel Cancer Screening Awareness Campaign Southwest 2025

Bowel cancer is the UK’s fourth most common cancer but if diagnosed at the earliest stages, bowel cancer is treatable and curable.

For cancer screening to be effective, it is important that uptake is high. To improve uptake in the Southwest we aim to increase awareness of Bowel Cancer Screening targeted at the eligible population. 

Bowel cancer screening awareness campaign aims to raise awareness that the eligible age has reduced from 50 to 60 years old.

The campaign will commence on 17^th March 2025 through to the end of April 2025 to align with Bowel Cancer Awareness Month (April 2025).

Attached is a campaign toolkit containing campaign details as well as materials for use across all localities. Organisations are encouraged to schedule social media, newsletter, and web page updates for the week commencing 17^th March 2025.
