Built for men who rarely see a GP
Men are notoriously reluctant to book a GP appointment — and prostate cancer and heart disease often develop silently for years before anything feels wrong. Our Men’s Health packages are designed to close that gap: bloods, PSA screening and measurements are all completed in a single, fast visit at SCVC, and, in the two more comprehensive packages, we arrange the further imaging your prostate or heart may need. Package 3’s cardiac CT (CTCA with FAI) can usually be arranged on the same day as your bloods, in one stop at SCVC. Package 2’s Prostogram MRI is carried out next door at the Nuffield, so we can’t guarantee same-day scanning — but we’ll always try to arrange it as close to your visit as possible, and same-day may well be possible if you give us enough notice when booking.
Every visit starts the same way, whichever package you choose: a same-day urine dipstick check. If this shows signs of a urinary tract infection, we stop there and refer you straight to your GP or urologist for treatment, because an active infection can artificially raise your PSA result, and we’d rather protect the accuracy of your test than press ahead with a misleading picture. If your urine is clear, we go straight into your chosen package.
