What happens next?

When you click ‘submit’ your request will be sent to the Scottish Bowel Screening Centre.

We'll need to check you live in Scotland and when your last test was carried out.

If you aren't eligible for a test, you'll be contacted by phone or email, or receive a letter.

A quick chat on the phone with one of our professional helpline advisors is usually best to sort out any potential issues quickly and privately.

The test kit

The test kit will arrive in a white envelope with the NHS Scotland logo.

Along with the test kit you will receive:

• a leaflet about the bowel screening test
• a letter explaining how to do the test
• how to send the test back to us
• how you'll get the results.
