Tuesday, 31st March. 9am-5pm
The Sports Hub, in conjunction with partners, has arranged for a health bus to attend Winton Park on Tuesday 31st March.
Alongside testing blood pressure on the bus, the professional staff on the bus will be able to test for PSA (prostate-specific-antigens), and TSH (thyroid-stimulating-hormone).
Why are these important?
The PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test is a blood test primarily used to screen for prostate cancer by measuring the level of this protein in the blood. It is crucial because it can detect prostate cancer early, often before symptoms arise and while it is still curable, helping to identify fast-growing tumors that require treatment
A TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism (underactive) or hyperthyroidism (overactive), by measuring how the pituitary gland regulates thyroid hormones. It is essential for managing metabolism, checking for thyroid nodules, ensuring proper medication dosage, and monitoring thyroid health in newborns and pregnant women
A blood pressure test is the only way to know if your blood pressure is healthy, as conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension) usually have no symptoms. Detecting and managing it early can be lifesaving by preventing severe long-term health complications
These tests can be an early warning to people in the three towns to health alerts and it is important, especially as we get older.
They work great as a broad snapshop of wellbeing and health markers, and can be a front-line check on any issues that may not yet be visible.
