Prostate Cancer PSA Screening Event 

Update:

Adrian Robson the Provincial Almoner has recently received the information on the first set of PSA screening held in Keynsham on Saturday 14th October. The Information is below:

45 – Bookings (1 No Show) 

33 – Green

7 – Red (will be advised to contact their GP) 

4 – Amber 

So effectively 20% of those who had the screening received red results and will be seen by their GP shortly. Brethren this could be the best £25 you will ever spend!

The first of two PSA Prostate Cancer Screening events in the Province was held at Keynsham Masonic Hall on Saturday, 10th October, where a number of brethren attended and underwent testing as part of this important health initiative.

Early detection is key and one of the most effective tools in the fight against prostate cancer, and we are pleased to see such strong support for the programme.

If you were unable to attend the Keynsham event, or have not had a recent PSA test, there is still an opportunity to book into our second screening event on:

Saturday, 14th  November
Taunton Masonic Hall
20 The Crescent
Taunton
