Bowel Cancer Screening Programme Research Committee

The research committee considers the feasibility and scientific value of research projects that arise from the screening programme, encourages collaboration between researchers and tries to prevent duplication.

The committee, chaired by Professor John Scholefield, meets quarterly and has considered over 60 research applications. The areas of research considered by the committee included uptake/acceptability of the screening test, epidemiology/histopathology and screening technologies.
