The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program is hitting the road as part of its Get behind it’ community roadshow regional NSW throughout September 2024.
This is a great opportunity for services to link with this to create awareness of bowel cancer which is on the rise in the community, with notable low participation rated in multicultural communities.
