🔴⚪⚽Throwback Thursday ⚽🔴⚪

Still unsure what to expect from a prostate PSA finger prick test? Take a look back at our visit to Accrington Stanley and see what it was all about.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the match in their iconic red and white home and away setting and stopped by our team on the day 🙌 It was brilliant to meet so many people taking a positive step towards their health.

We were on site offering prostate PSA testing for eligible men, and it was great to see such strong support for early detection and awareness.

If you didn’t manage to speak with us, or you’re feeling a bit unsure or worried about the test, we’ve got you. In the video, Ashleigh and Viv talk you through exactly what to expect and are always happy to answer questions 😊

Watch the video and take a look behind the scenes at the day itself.

🚨 We’re on the move, Blackburn! 🚨

A quick heads-up: due to unforeseen circumstances, tomorrow’s clinic (Wednesday 22nd April, 10:00 – 16:00) is switching locations.

❌ Royal Blackburn Hospital
✅ Now at Asda Blackburn

Same team. Same service. Same mission… just a different postcode for the day.

✨ Plus, we’ll have the re:fresh Blackburn with Darwen team with us, offering additional health checks and friendly conversations to support your overall wellbeing.

✨✨ If you are eligible for your Covid-19 Spring booster these are also available on the van! ✨✨

If you were planning to pop by, don’t worry, we’ve still got you covered. Swing over to Asda, say hello, and get checked. Quick, easy, and well worth it.

We’re hoping to be back at Royal Blackburn Hospital soon, so this is just a temporary detour on the road.

Come find us, have a chat, and take a positive step for your health 💙
