The Doctors Laboratory (TDL)
A range of screening tests using remote testing/self-taken small volume blood samples (home collection) and postal pathology has been developed using TDL TINIES™.
For further information on self-taken blood samples, please see watch the video and click here to visit the TDL website.
The test is simple and relatively painless as a prick of the finger is carried out by a specialist instrument (lancet).

Prostate health screening home testing kits available. Detect the early signs of prostate disease by using a simple finger-

Graham Fulford Charitable Trust (GFCT)
The Graham Fulford Charitable Trust was set up by Graham Fulford to promote awareness of Prostate Cancer following the diagnosis of a close friend who died at the age of 58 and a close family member who died in 2007 with prostate cancer after a valiant fight.
BPCSG arranges all PSA tests through GFCT who, in normal times, supply the phlebotomists, deliver the blood samples to the laboratory, dispose of all needles, co-ordinate results and send out emails/letters to those who have taken the test.
