Newcastle Central PCN Welcome to Newcastle Central Primary Care Network, working together to provide support for these six Newcastle-under-Lyme based GPs- Wolstanton Medical Centre, Lyme Valley, Miller Street Surgery, Higherland, Milehouse Medical Practise and The Village Surgery.

A third of people (33%) eligible for bowel cancer screening in the UK don’t complete their test, data revealed by the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity Bowel Cancer UK has shown.

The bowel screening programme helps to spot bowel cancer before symptoms start, when it’s most treatable. A screening kit will be sent to you in the post if you’re within the age range for the screening programme and registered with a GP.

Bowel cancer is more common in people over the age of 50, but it can affect anyone of any age. If you’re below the screening age and are worried you may have symptoms of bowel cancer, go to see your GP. They may give you an at-home test, known as a symptomatic FIT. This is similar to the bowel cancer screening test — it also looks for blood in your poo, but it’s only given if you have symptoms of bowel cancer.
In North Staffordshire there is a high % of people aged 50 to 59 that are invited to be screened but are not completing the FIT kit.
Early detection is key if you do receive a screening FIT kit, please do your bit and complete the kit!!
