Prostate Health Screening Clinic
Christiana Hartley Medical Practice is pleased to announce that we now have a new service for our male patients, a prostate health screening clinic. Prostate cancer is often asymptomatic in the early stages, we hope this dedicated clinic will enhance early detection and management.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with over 52,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates.
Public Health England and NHS England have emphasised the importance of encouraging men, particularly those over 50, to consider PSA testing after discussing the benefits and risks with a healthcare professional.
If you are over 50 years old and would like to be screened for prostate cancer, which includes a PSA blood test, then please contact the surgery on tel.: 01704 531114 to arrange an appointment. Alternatively, you can complete an online e-consult (Patches) request, and the appointment will be arranged for you.
