Funds raised towards this project will help with the purchase of a new Bowel Disease Marker Analyser for the Pathology Department at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital.

This incredible new equipment will analyse faecal samples to look for tiny traces of blood which if present, can be an early marker for bowel cancer. Use of this new device will allow quicker referral and will greatly reduce the time from when the pathology team receives the sample to when they are able to release a result, ultimately resulting in a quicker diagnosis of patients with bowel cancer symptoms and enabling those patients to be put on the relevant treatment pathway as soon as possible.
