Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the United Kingdom and the second biggest cancer killer. If diagnosed early, bowel Cancer is treatable and curable. Bowel screening can reduce the risk of developing Bowel cancer and the Bowel cancer screening Programme has been operational in Cornwall since 2009.

Due to the expansion of the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme in Cornwall, we are looking for an exceptional nurse to join our growing team. As a Specialist Screening Practitioner (SSP) You will support and guide participants along the screening pathway with care and compassion, providing information and advice, assessing suitability, and enabling people to make decisions on this important undertaking.

The Bowel Cancer Screening Programme will be lowering the age of inclusion to offer bowel screening to all 50 - to 74-year-olds in Cornwall, by 2024/25 which will include a larger proportion of the population and the reason for expanding the team.

In addition to the age extension, management of genetically predisposed bowel cancer surveillance is being taken over by BCS.
