Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, but most men with early prostate cancer don't get any symptoms. The earlier you catch prostate cancer, the more likely it is to be cured.
A recent trial of prostate cancer screening in men aged 50-75 found that 1/6 had a significant finding on an MRI scan, with 60% of these patients being diagnosed with a significant prostate cancer. More than half of these men had a PSA below the current threshold for investigation, so MRI can pick up prostate cancer before symptoms or PSA tests.
Here at LivingCare we offer a full range of diagnostics to check prostate health. Our prostate screening services range from: early diagnosis, prostate screening and MRI, bloods PSA test, transperineal biopsy, and referral on to a Urologist.
We are driven by the belief that quality brings its rewards. We see outstanding quality within our services, we have strong outcomes for our patient care and our ratings on patient satisfaction are high. Our average for the last three months is 98% of individuals would highly likely or likely recommend us as a provider of choice for their friends and family
Whilst most healthcare organisations require a GP referral for a specialist service, here at LivingCare we can produce that GP referral for you through our team of Private GPs

We do not want you waiting around feeling ill. We will let you choose when you come and see us, rather than telling you when we are free.

If you are paying for your procedure or treatment with medical insurance, you will need to liaise closely with the insurance provider throughout the process.
Before attending your first appointment, you should contact your insurance company to check that that your condition is covered for all stages of treatments.
You will need to visit your GP and ask them to refer you to The LivingCare Group at Thorpe Park Clinic for a private procedure. Your GP will write a letter of referral and then either you or your GP can contact us to arrange your first appointment.

Do I need to see one of your GPs before I see one of your consultants in another service?
No, you can book directly with the consultant of your choice without the need for a referral from a GP.
There is no extra charge for our GPs to provide you with a prescription. You will just need to pay a prescription fee at the pharmacy.
Prescriptions are available for:
Conditions diagnosed or confirmed by one of our GPs
If you have run out of your usual repeat prescription
Forgotten or lost tablets, inhalers and other medicines
Contraception and emergency contraception
Medication not available on the NHS
Repeat prescriptions
We are able to provide repeat prescriptions for regular patients who have previously seen one of our GPs and an agreement has been made to put medication/prescription on repeat.
The GP will agree a duration for the repeat prescription/medication before a medication review appointment is required.
There will be a £20 administration charge to issue a repeat prescription if this is required between appointments.
Our opening hours vary depending on which professional you need to access. However, our clinic will generally be open from 8am to 8pm Monday - Friday.
Some of our services are available on weekends. Please call us to discuss.
Accessing our private GP service should not affect your care from your local NHS GP service. Although we aim to provide a full primary care service we strongly recommend that you remain registered on your local GP patient list to ensure assistance in the event of a medical emergency.
