Local GP, Dr Sophie Wood, talks about Bowel Screening- in our latest Podcast on Women’s Health. This one isn’t just for women – bowel screening is important for men too!
She talks about why bowel screening is so important, how it is organised and what to expect at the screening, and what the results might mean.
Dr Wood also tells us that in the Bridgwater area, more patients in their 40s present with late stage bowel cancer – so there is a project for earlier screening at the moment. https://www.somersetft.nhs.uk/cancer/somerset-bowel-service/ or telephone 01823 213658
