It is official. The Government want me to give them shit.

I will be happy to oblige!

The lower age limit for bowel cancer screening is being lowered.

If this is because of robust evidence from randomised controlled trials that screening people in the 50-59 age range does more good than harm, then this is a good thing.

If it's just because people have been campaigning for it, then maybe it's not.

Anyone know what the evidence base for extending the age range is?

Huge win for late Dame Deborah James as bowel cancer screening age is lowered

The NHS has lowered the bowel cancer screening age from 60 to 50 after campaigner Dame Deborah James, who died aged 40 in 2022, called for the change before her death

Received my Bowel cancer screening FIT kit today. From the age of 52 (going down to 50 soon) right through to 74, we will receive a kit every two years. Please, all who receive one, do it, it takes minutes and could be a life saver 💩 #bowelcancerscreening
