Bowel screening information

To help raise awareness of bowel screening and encourage participation with the programme, Public Health Scotland (PHS) has developed a new how to complete your home test video. This video is a step-by-step guide on how to complete and return the kit – with the aim of highlighting the ease of the process and addressing any potential barriers. The video is signposted by QR code on the recently updated national bowel screening invitation letter sent to all those eligible for bowel screening and is prominent on www.nhsinform.scot/bowelscreening.

In addition to this, PHS has developed a new what you need to know about your colonoscopy appointment video. This video is aimed at those people who are invited to a colonoscopy appointment because they need further investigation after their bowel screening test.  There is also a FAQs video that supports the colonoscopy appointment video.

All videos are available to download via the PHS Marketing Resource Centre or are available to watch on the PHS YouTube channel. 

Many thanks,

Kathryn
