Family and genetic risk programme.

Caring for a patient also means considering the people who share their story.

Information for family decisions.

In some patients, colorectal cancer may be associated with inherited factors that increase risk for other family members. Identifying these conditions guides prevention, screening and early diagnosis strategies.

The programme offers specialist assessment for patients and relatives with suspected inherited predisposition, bringing together family history, clinical criteria and genetic investigation.

Its commitment is to turn knowledge into prevention and support informed health decisions for current and future generations.
