We offer consultant-led screening that includes blood tests and physical examinations to check for signs of prostate cancer. We also offer private MRI prostate scans to gain clear insight into your prostate health.
Private prostate cancer screening with specialist consultation
This pathway includes two consultations with a Consultant Urologist, along with the tests needed to assess your prostate health carefully and thoroughly.
During your first appointment, you’ll have time to talk through any concerns, symptoms or family history. Your consultant will carry out a physical examination, which may include a digital rectal examination. This involves gently inserting a gloved, lubricated finger into your bottom to feel the prostate gland and check for any changes in size, shape or texture.
You’ll also have blood tests, including a PSA test, and a urine sample if needed. These results help build a clearer picture of your individual risk.
Follow-up appointment
At your follow-up appointment, your consultant will explain your results in detail and discuss what they mean for you.
If your results suggest a possible risk of prostate cancer, we can arrange a prostate MRI scan. This advanced imaging test provides detailed views of the prostate and helps identify areas that may need closer assessment.
If the MRI shows anything concerning, your consultant will talk you through the findings and may recommend a targeted biopsy (tissue sample).
Every step is carefully explained, and any further investigations are arranged promptly within our hospitals so your care remains coordinated and reassuring.
MRI prostate cancer screening package
Our MRI prostate cancer screening package offers a more in-depth assessment of your prostate health, combining specialist consultation, blood testing and advanced imaging in one coordinated pathway.
This option is often chosen by people who have a raised PSA result, stronger risk factors or who would like the most detailed evaluation from the outset.
Your package includes:
- In-person consultation with a Consultant Urologist to review your history, symptoms and individual risk
- Comprehensive testing, including PSA (prostate-specific antigen) and urinalysis (a sample of your urine is tested to check for infection)
- A prostate MRI scan with a contrast dye (a special substance injected into a vein) to ensure the images are as clear as possible
- A detailed report from a specialist prostate radiologist
- Virtual follow-up consultation with your consultant to review findings and agree on next steps
Unlike PSA testing alone, MRI provides detailed images of the prostate and can help distinguish between lower-risk changes and areas that may require closer investigation. It can also help reduce unnecessary biopsies by targeting areas of concern more precisely.
All elements of the assessment are coordinated within our hospitals, giving you clarity and continuity of care from start to finish.
You don’t need a GP referral to access this service.
