Ed,

I would like to offer an observation for comment and perhaps motivation for a new health action.

Mo-vember is ‘Change the face of Men’s Health’, maybe this could be a step toward change.

Prostate cancer can be detected with a blood test.

G.P.’s are the only ones who (at this time) can refer/prescribe for that test. Why?

I phoned Maclean Community Health (15/11/24) and there is NO dedicated men’s health educator/community nurse.

How do we get one?

Much like Breastscreen and Bowlscan, could we benefit from ‘Grand-gland’ or ‘Gland I did’ and have a dedicated blood referral for this incredibly important test.

Let’s see and be part of that change.
