PSA Home and Event Testing – How to Book and Claim

Cemex UK’s Wellbeing Strategy Group has recently launched a new PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) testing programme to support early detection of potential prostate health issues for male colleagues aged 40+. A PSA test is a simple blood test that can help identify prostate concerns early, often before symptoms appear.

Following the success of our onsite testing sessions, we are now enabling ALL male colleagues aged 40+ to take a PSA Test, if they couldn’t attend an Cemex site testing event. Colleagues can now claim back the cost of a PSA test taken either via a home testing kit, or a test taken at public event local to you (both available from the website shared below).

Early testing for Prostate cancer is crucial because it often develops with no noticeable symptoms, meaning it can progress silently until it becomes harder to treat. Detecting it early significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and can save lives.

We strongly urge you to watch a short video where Ian White, General & Commercial Manager NW Materials, shares his Prostate Cancer story.  Ian shares why it is so important to take the test, even if you have zero symptoms. Ian has kindly offered to chat, on a one-to one basis, with anyone who would like to hear more about next steps after receiving a high PSA result. (You can contact Ian here [email protected])
