Whilst I am delighted that there are "exciting" and "new" screening tests being brought in to help with early detection of bowel cancer, it is important to remember that the test is only effective if people actually have it done. Raising public awareness of the disease is paramount to early detection of bowel polyps and cancer, whether it be early or late stage, and the GPs have their part to play in this as much as any of us.

Also, best wishes to Pauline for a full recovery.
