A video produced by the Public Health Authority explains what happens at bowel screening.  It covers how to take the test, processing the samples at the laboratory, receiving your results and being called back to colonoscopy. It is hoped the video will help clear up confusion about how to take the test and clarify the process. The video also features the helpline and provides the number for people to contact.
