🎥 Could one simple blood test make a difference?

Getting a PSA test is quick, straightforward and could provide important information about your prostate health.

This video follows one participant as he attends a Scottish Prostate Cancer Initiative testing event, showing just how easy the process is. There's no physical examination—just a simple blood test that takes only a few minutes. (sped up but the full process shown)

Every eligible man has access to a free PSA test, and some participants may also be invited to provide an additional sample to support research into improving the early detection of prostate cancer.

Since launching in March 2026, the Scottish Prostate Cancer Initiative has already tested more than 12,500 men as it works towards its goal of testing 25,000 men across Scotland.
If you're eligible, don't put it off. A few minutes today could make a real difference for your future health.

Launched in March 2026, the Scottish Prostate Cancer Initiative aims to test 25,000 men across Scotland, helping to detect prostate cancer earlier and improve outcomes for men nationwide.

The Initiative was launched by Sir Chris Hoy, Kenny Logan, Sir Tom Hunter and Professor Sir Chris Evans, who have united behind this ambitious programme to raise awareness and encourage men to know their prostate health.🤝
Since its launch, more than 12,500 men have already been tested—a fantastic milestone that demonstrates the strong support for this Initiative.

🔬 Every man aged between 40 and 80 has access to a free PSA test—a simple blood test with no physical examination required. In addition, some participants are invited to provide an extra sample to support research that could transform how prostate cancer is detected, making diagnosis earlier and more accurate in the future.

By taking part, men are not only taking an important step for their own health but also contributing to research that could benefit future generations.

Founder of 𝐄𝐃𝐗 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬, highlights in today's why we need a better way to detect prostate cancer earlier - and why innovation can save lives.

At the 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, we couldn't agree more.

Too many men are diagnosed after symptoms appear, when treatment can be more complex. That's why our mission is to encourage earlier testing, raise awareness, and generate vital research that will help improve prostate cancer diagnosis for future generations.
