Health Checks
Aged 40 - 74 It has never been easier to get a health MOT. Many risk factors don't cause short-term symptoms, but getting them identified and treated can hugely reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes and kidney problems. Even if you are not in the age bracket and feel concerned about your blood pressure or weight please speak to one of our nursing team.
PSA Testing
The PSA test is a blood test used primarily to screen for prostate cancer. The test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. PSA is a protein produced by both cancerous and noncancerous tissue in the prostate, a small gland that sits below the bladder in males.
It's your choice whether to have a PSA test to screen for cancer. You and your prover may consider your risk for developing a serious cancer that could spread if you don't catch it early. Your risk for serious prostate cancer may be higher depending on your:
Age : The risk of prostate cancer increases after age 50.
Your family health history : If members of your family have had prostate cancer, your risk may be higher.
Your race: Prostate cancer is more common in African Americans. They also have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer at a younger age and having more serious disease.
