Abstract
Background:
? The NHS Bowel Scope Screening (BSS) programme offers
individuals aged 55 a once-only flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS)
examination, a test that can help reduce bowel cancer incidence and
mortality.
? Benefits of BSS are contingent on uptake. Analyses of the first 14
months of roll-out indicates uptake to be 43%
? Patient navigation (PN) involves trained individuals giving tailored one to-one support to patients to overcome barriers preventing them from accessing healthcare.
? PN has been shown to increase cancer screening uptake in the US,
including breast and bowel cancer screening.
