Organisers say a community prostate testing event run by the non‑profit My PSA Tests is scheduled to take place in Welwyn Garden City on Saturday 9 May 2026. The one‑day clinic is reported to be at The Cloisters on Guessens Road; organisers’ booking information should be checked for the venue’s full address and final timings.
According to the event listing supplied by the organisers, the clinic will open from 07:30 to 14:00. My PSA Tests say men aged 40 and over are eligible to book a simple Prostate‑Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test at the session. The PSA test measures levels of a protein made by the prostate; elevated levels can be an early warning sign of prostate problems, though the test is not diagnostic and can produce false positives.
The Graham Fulford Charitable Trust (GFCT) is listed by the organisers as a partner on the My PSA Tests platform and is understood to be providing technical support for community testing sessions using the same booking and processing systems. The initiative is framed by organisers as a way to improve local access to testing at a time when there is no UK national screening programme for prostate cancer; national bodies have continued to review evidence on targeted screening approaches.
Local health planning documents and cancer needs assessments for Hertfordshire note variation in early detection and diagnosis across the county; organisers say the event aims to improve access for men who may find it difficult to get testing through routine primary care. Prospective attendees must register in advance through the My PSA Tests booking portal — check the official event page for availability and exact eligibility rules.
Organisers state that blood samples are processed in a regulated laboratory and that results are normally delivered to the individual via a secure online portal, typically within 7–10 days. Anyone with a raised or abnormal result is advised to contact their GP for follow‑up care.
