PROSTATE SCREENING
Did you know that one in eight men will get prostate cancer? Well, it can be cured if caught early enough.
SO DON'T PUT YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND – GET TESTED!
Whilst the test is not absolutely definitive it can provide an early warning of prostate cancer that is still at a curable stage but without displaying any symptoms..
The date for this years testing day event at Shirley Methodist Centre will appear here shortly
and the site for booking your appointment PSA Testing @ My PSA Tests will go live well before the event.
Saturday 27th September 2026 saw us hold our sixth annual Prostate Awareness event. Blood tests were taken on 250 men to check their PSA (prostate specific antigen). From these tests we were advised that 8 men received a "red" warning meaning that they needed immediate follow up and a further 14 received an "amber" warning meaning they need to be checked on a regular basis. Thankfully everyone else received the "green O K" Those 22 red and amber warnings make the whole event so worthwhile,
