SALES:  For the four Rotary Districts,   Link Introduction
The  Bowelscan test kits are sold through PARTICIPATING PHARMACIES and returned again to the same pharmacies for pathology collection and testing.  The duration of sales is usually one month (annually), plus an extra two weeks for return of the kits.

Pharmacies receive all Bowelscan stock on consignment.  Bowelscan kits come in sealed boxes of 50. Both the unsold kits and pharmacy pathology bin are returned to Rotary at the end of the program.  

Participating Pharmacies should receive their stock prior to the official program commencement date.  Unofficially, the sale of Bowelscan kits can start as soon as the Bowelscan kits are in the pharmacy.

There is no profit made from sale of the Bowelscan kits by Rotary, participating Pharmacies, Medical Coordinator, Pathology, collectors or volunteers. The program is a Bowel Cancer Awareness Campaign and a service to the community provided by the above organizations and volunteers.  All proceeds from sales are returned back into the Bowelscan program – to ensure the continuation and expansion of the program – for the benefit of the community.

The following Rotary Districts supply ONLY Hemoccult II kits at a cost of $10.00 which includes pathology testing and notification of a result:  Rotary Districts 9680, 9690, 9710 and part of 9750.

For inquires regarding purchase or return of kits for testing after the program has closed: Pharmacies should give the client our direct phone number and we will take care that the person's request is complied with (at no extra cost).

Rotary and its members are not engaged in the provision of medical advice or medical service to the public, but we do encourage people with a bowel disorder to consult their doctor.

Confidentiality
A test of this nature would normally be a confidential matter between doctor and patient. Taking the test into public arena makes confidentiality no less desirable but more difficult to achieve.
