Delighted to report tonight that after my direct request to the SPCI, they have generously agreed to run a PSA testing event for Wigtownshire on the morning of Saturday October 10th.
Over the years, since Prostate Buddies D & G started travelling to shows across the region, we've met with the same complaint from men, that they struggle to get their GPs to do a simple blood test, so now is your opportunity to get tested and receive the result within just a few days.
Please go online to the SPCI site, and follow the simple application process.
Please share this post far and wide!
Thanks.

More than 100 hearing aids are lost locally each month. NHS hearing aids are loaned to patients and should be returned when no longer needed.
If you have an old or found hearing aid, please return it clearly marked HEARING AID AMNESTY to Audiology, Mountainhall Treatment Centre, Bankend Road, Dumfries, DG1 4AP, or hand it in at your GP surgery for internal post.
Returned hearing aids can be recycled, repaired under warranty, or donated to support projects in developing countries.
