The Eastern Bowel Cancer Screening Programme looks after the screening service for the East England, working in conjunction with 4 other screening Hubs within England.
The Hub consists of a laboratory, national helpline and admin area, providing a range of tasks to look at and to add some variety to the placement.

They will have the opportunity to observe in both the admin and helpline areas to see the processes that take place outside of the lab.
