22/02/2019 - Prostate Cancer Screening
Prostate Cancer has become the number one cancer in men with 1 in 8 men being diagnosed with the disease. Through funding from the Staffordshire Provincial Charity and the Staffordshire & Shropshire Mark Masons we have createdan innovative health campaign in kind association with a small team of passionate specialists in Urology based at Queens Hospital, Burton.
Each individual screening involves the taking of a small blood sample as well as a digital rectal examination carried out by a lady Consultant Urological Surgeon. Each test will take 5-6 minutes. All applicants must be able to access a couch unaided.
Each venue will be manned by volunteers where refreshments will be available in the waiting areas. Wives and partners are welcome to wait in these areas where an information stand on Prostate Cancer will be also be available.
Applicants should arrive 10 minutes prior to their booked and confirmed examination time.
Through our recent association and support of Blood Bikes all blood samples will be collected by the organisation and transported safely to the laboratory for testing.
