The qFIT Bowel Cancer Screening Test is a simple and accurate way to check for tiny traces of blood in your stool — one of the earliest warning signs of bowel cancer. With this easy at-home kit, you can screen your bowel health discreetly, without waiting for a GP appointment or attending a clinic.
If you’ve noticed unusual bowel changes, persistent digestive discomfort, or simply want reassurance about your bowel health, qFIT offers a reliable and accessible way to get answers quickly.
qFIT stands for Quantitative Faecal Immunochemical Test. It measures the amount of human blood in a small stool sample using advanced laboratory technology. Even low levels of blood — invisible to the naked eye — can be detected.
The result helps assess whether further medical investigation may be needed. While qFIT does not diagnose bowel cancer on its own, it is one of the most widely used and trusted screening tools for spotting early signs.
This test is suitable for anyone who wants to check their bowel health, especially if they:
Have noticed unexplained changes in bowel habits
Experience regular bloating or lower abdominal discomfort
See occasional blood on toilet paper (even if unsure of the source)
Have lost weight without trying
Are aged 40+ and want routine screening
Have a personal or family history of bowel disease
Want peace of mind without waiting for a medical appointment
If symptoms persist, or if you are concerned about new digestive changes, screening early is always a good idea.
