CHAMPIONING COLORECTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
Norgine’s 2017 poll of public attitudes to colonoscopy amongst adults across the EU5 (UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy) found that:1
- Negative attitudes to colonoscopy diminish following the procedure: 58% felt the procedure was better than expected
- Despite experiences being better than anticipated, 43% would be embarrassed to have another colonoscopy
- 45% of those who had not had a colonoscopy knew the procedure could prevent colorectal cancer
- Patients often believe they need to drink less bowel preparation than they actually need

DETECTION, MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT
We know that a timely, successful colonoscopy is fundamental to the early detection, monitoring and management of bowel-related diseases.
We work with many European and national organisations to promote awareness of colorectal health and increase uptake of colonoscopies.
