Who will be invited?
We are inviting 40,000 people across the UK to have the capsule sponge test. We are inviting people to take part by text message. You may be invited if you are:
- A woman aged between 65 to 79
- A man aged between 55 to 79
- Someone who takes regular medication for heartburn, indigestion or acid reflux
- Part of the Heartburn Health programme and randomly selected
The age range is different for men and women because men are at increased risk at a younger age.
