The testing is a simple and painless 5-minute blood test and will be carried out by qualified phlebotomists. Whilst the testing is carried out without profit, there will be a charge to cover processing costs.
The Cancer Testing South team will ensure your safety by following a strict COVID-19 hygiene policy and by wearing appropriate PPE.
Every 45 minutes a man dies from prostate cancer, that's more than 11,000 deaths annually.
90% of men who have their prostate cancer detected early are cured.
Richard Roberts, Managing Director of Trident Honda, explains:
Trident Honda has chosen to support this initiative, owing to our concern that some may be delaying their PSA tests to avoid placing additional pressure on our overstretched NHS. By providing our facilities free of charge to Cancer Testing South, we hope to play our part in supporting the community, and ensuring that more men are protected against this deadly disease.
