The Bowel Screening Service is provided by Dr Peter Moncur - Consultant Bowel Screening Endoscopist, Dr John Silcock - Consultant Bowel Screening Endoscopist and Clare Westwood - Bowel Screening Nurse Endoscopist.
The Bowel Screening team is also supported by two Bowel Screening Nurses - Gillian Matthews and Peter McCourt.
The service was established to provide bowel screening for the local population aged between 60 and 69 years but in 2010 we extended the age range to include residents aged between 70-75 years of age.
The service is provided from the Trust's Accredited Bowel Screening Centre at Bishop Auckland Hospital and received full JAG Accreditation for this service in 2007.
There are satellite nurse assessment clinics at Chester-le-Street, Shotley Bridge and Darlington.
