Prostate Health Check From

Approximately 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. The risk is even higher for Black men, affecting around 1 in 4. The likelihood of developing prostate cancer increases with age, with most cases occurring in men over the age of 50. In the UK, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men.

Our Prostate Health Check is designed to help identify potential issues early and provide reassurance. The service includes:

  • An initial consultation with a urologist

  • A PSA blood test

  • An MRI scan

  • A follow-up appointment to discuss your results

This comprehensive prostate health check helps you take a proactive approach to managing your prostate health, with guidance from experienced specialists.

The following criteria must be met to be eligible for a Prostate Health Check:

  • The individual must have been assigned male at birth

  • White men aged 50 and over, or Black men aged 45 and over
