Unfortunately, many people face barriers when trying to access crucial health tests such as a PSA test through their GP, forcing them to seek help elsewhere.

Paul Campbell, a 54-year-old from South London, shared his story of being denied a PSA test by his GP at 42. After years of persistence, he was finally diagnosed with prostate cancer at 49—despite having no symptoms. Had he not fought for the test, his cancer could have gone undetected until it was too late. His experience highlights the urgent need for better access to testing, especially for Black men, who are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, and early detection through PSA tests can significantly improve survival rates.

At GFCT, we believe no one should be denied a life-saving health check. Early diagnosis is key, and routine screenings should be readily available to all. If you're over 40 or at risk, get a PSA test. Your health is worth it.
