How to use the NHS bowel cancer screening kit | NHS

The NHS bowel cancer screening FIT kit can detect signs of cancer before you notice anything is wrong. In this video, we share step-by-step instructions on how you can complete the kit at home in the privacy of your own bathroom.

The video shows how you can use your FIT test to collect a sample of your poo, also known as a stool sample.

If you’re sent a bowel cancer screening FIT kit, put it by the loo. Don't put it off.
