This is a clinic-based or home-nurse blood test measuring PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen), a marker commonly used to assess prostate health. It suits men who prefer a clinician to take the sample rather than testing at home.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test measures PSA, a protein made by the prostate gland that doctors commonly use alongside other information when assessing prostate health. The sample is taken as a venous blood draw, either at a clinic or during a home nurse visit, rather than the finger-prick format Better2Know also offers.
Of the eight named tests in its comparison group, this is the most expensive at £135, well above the £59 group median and £60 more than Better2Know's own Prostate Specific Antigen Home Test Kit, which measures the same marker for £75. Competitors such as Medichecks (£45), Forth (£49) and Thriva (£65) all come in considerably cheaper.
It scores well for clarity and documentation, with a clear explanation of PSA and the testing process, and reasonably for Collection Convenience since a home nurse visit is offered as an alternative to a clinic appointment. It scores poorly on value for money given how far above the group median it sits, and on Results and Follow-up because a doctor does not review results as standard.
This suits you if you would rather have a trained clinician take a venous blood sample, either at a clinic or via a home nurse visit, than use a finger-prick kit yourself. If cost is the priority, Better2Know's own home finger-prick version of this test covers the same marker for £75, and Medichecks charges £45 for an equivalent PSA test.
It is not the best-value choice if budget is your main concern, since it is priced above every named alternative in its comparison group.
A trained clinician takes a venous blood sample, either at a clinic or during a home nurse visit. Results are normally available within one working day of the sample reaching the laboratory, published to your secure online patient area, with notification by phone, email or SMS. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, and Better2Know suggests seeing a doctor if your PSA level comes back abnormal.
This clinic-based PSA test costs £135, priced above all eight named alternatives in its comparison group, and £60 more than Better2Know's own home finger-prick version of the same test. Samples are taken by venous draw at a clinic or during a home nurse visit, with a result within one working day, but a doctor does not review them as standard. Medichecks offers the same marker for £45.
