Ordering your qFIT test through Haven Medical is straightforward and entirely postal — no GP referral, no clinic visit required. We send your test kit to any UK address, you collect a small sample in the privacy of your own home, and return it to our accredited laboratory using the prepaid envelope provided. A Haven Medical GP then personally reviews your result and emails you a clear written summary — and if anything needs further attention, they’ll contact you directly and can refer you into the NHS fast-track pathway without delay.
Straightforward pricing for your qFIT bowel cancer screening test, with no hidden costs. Your £95 includes the test kit, prepaid return postage, a personal GP review of your result, and a written summary – everything you need from start to finish.
We are able to accept patients who are insured by AXA, WPA, Vitality and BUPA. Insurance policies vary so it is worth checking with your insurer as to what they will cover.

It’s a simple home test that checks for tiny traces of blood in your stool, the kind you wouldn’t be able to see yourself. It measures a protein called haemoglobin, which is found in blood, and gives an exact reading rather than just a yes or no answer. It’s the same type of test used in the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme
Not on its own, no. The qFIT test is a screening tool, it can flag that something may be worth looking into, but it can’t give you a diagnosis. If your result does come back positive, that doesn’t mean you have cancer. There are plenty of other reasons blood might show up in a stool sample, and our team will always talk you through what your result means.
It’s good news. A negative qFIT result means no blood was detected, and the likelihood of bowel cancer being present is very low – over 99%. That said, if you have symptoms that are bothering you, it’s always worth mentioning them to your doctor regardless of your result.
Anyone who wants to take a closer look at their bowel health, whether that’s because you have a family history of bowel cancer, you’re approaching an age where screening becomes more relevant, or you just want the peace of mind. If you’re already experiencing symptoms, we’d recommend speaking with one of our clinicians first so we can point you in the right direction.
Not really. There’s no fasting involved and you don’t need to change your diet or stop any medication. You’ll receive a simple kit with everything you need, and you can collect your sample at home at any time that suits you.

Yes. Our doctors can refer patients directly into NHS pathways when appropriate, including urgent fast-track and two-week-wait referrals. If you need to have ongoing medication or other tests, and would like these carried out by the NHS, we can write to your GP to request this.
