Cancer screening aims to detect cancer or pre-cancerous changes early, before symptoms develop. Which screening is appropriate depends on your age, sex, family history and individual risk factors. We discuss the limitations of the national screening programmes and can arrange screening for common cancers including cervical, bowel, prostate and breast cancer, where indicated after a detailed discussion about what this involves. We can refer to specialist services, including genetics, where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions below. Everything you need to know is right here, designed to help you make an informed and confident decision.

Does private screening replace NHS screening programmes?

No. The national NHS screening programmes for cervical, breast and bowel cancer are well-evidenced, and we encourage you to take part in those you are eligible for. Private assessment complements rather than replaces them.

Should I have a PSA test?

PSA testing is a personal decision. We explain the benefits and limitations so you can decide.

Do you offer whole-body scans?

We focus on evidence-based screening appropriate to your risk. Broad, untargeted scanning can produce incidental findings that cause anxiety and further tests without clear benefit, and we advise you honestly on this.

What if I have symptoms rather than wanting screening?

Symptoms need assessment rather than screening. We assess you promptly and arrange urgent referral where appropriate.
