The month of April is dedicated to Bowel Cancer Awareness. Sharing knowledge is very important and we want everyone to be bowel cancer aware.
If you have any concerns, please contact your GP. Despite COVID-19, your GP surgery is open. You aren’t wasting their time and it is important to seek advice.
