A new video about what happens at bowel screening has been produced by the Public Health Agency. It covers how to take this test, processing the samples at the laboratory, receiving your results and being called back to colonoscopy.
The video is also available in British and Irish sign language and subtitled.
The video is on the Northern Ireland Cancer Screening Programmes website at the following link - click on the link:
