Ivan, a personal trainer, put off doing his bowel screening test for months – until one of his clients, Jemma, Lead Cancer Nurse at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust encouraged him to take it. It saved his life. The test picked up early signs of bowel cancer, despite Ivan having no symptoms and feeling completely well. He went on to have successful bowel surgery and is now cancer-free! Jemma’s encouragement changed Ivan’s life, showing the care and impact NHS staff have on patients every day. 💙
