Time to Screen - National Bowel Screening Programme

Bowel Screening Promotion

Project Dates:

May 2025

General Practices are invited to take part in the NBSP May Primary Care Promotion to increase bowel screening participation among under-screened groups and improve patient outcomes.

Bowel screening helps detect cancer early, when it can often be successfully treated. The May campaigns in 2023 and 2024 were highly successful, increasing kit requests among under-screened groups. This year’s promotion aims to build on that success and drive even greater participation.

What do we want clinicians to do?

Have a conversation with priority group patients who have not completed bowel screening.
Use the desk top trifold to guide the conversation.

‍

Opportunistic conversations:

GPs and practice nurses will be encouraged to initiate discussions about bowel screening during consultations to support informed decision-making.
