Thousands of people with sight loss in England will find it easier to participate in life-saving bowel cancer screening thanks to a new specially-designed NHS tool.
People who are blind or partially sighted will be offered the specially-designed tool to support them complete the Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kit, which can detect signs of bowel cancer.
The FIT aid tool is an adaptation which makes the standard FIT test more accessible with a channel that enables the sample to be guided into the bottle, as well as a stand that holds the FIT tube steady to help those with manual dexterity issues. It includes options for braille instructions, an audio CD or a link to audio and video instructions.
