Prostate Profile

A blood test measuring total PSA, free PSA and the ratio between them, markers commonly used alongside clinical assessment to help gauge prostate health. Suited to men wanting to monitor PSA over time rather than a one-off total PSA check.

About this test

Total and free PSA, and the ratio between them, are markers commonly used alongside clinical assessment to help gauge prostate health, including in the context of monitoring known prostate conditions. As the provider explains, an abnormal result does not confirm prostate cancer, and a normal result does not rule it out. It is a tool to help decide whether further investigation or monitoring is warranted, not a diagnosis on its own, and the provider recommends waiting 48 hours after ejaculation before testing to avoid a falsely raised reading.

At 3 markers, this sits in the middle of the size range among the men's health tests we track. There is no directly comparable prostate-specific panel from another provider in our data, so we compare it against similarly sized men's health tests instead, where the median price is £65, £14 below the £79 charged here.

Clinical depth sits mid-range, reflecting a focused 3-marker panel rather than a broad one. value for money is lower, given the above-median cost against similarly sized tests. Collection convenience is limited by needing a venous draw rather than a finger-prick option, and trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report.

Who is it for?

This suits men who want to monitor PSA over time, for example because of age, family history of prostate cancer, or existing prostate concerns, and who want the added context of free PSA and the ratio rather than a total PSA figure alone.

Wait at least 48 hours after ejaculation before testing, as the provider notes this can temporarily raise PSA levels. Because PSA testing alone cannot confirm or rule out prostate cancer, discuss any symptoms, family history, or unexpected results with a GP, who may recommend further investigation.

How it works

This test requires a venous blood draw, either at a partner clinic (plus £35) or a home visit from a phlebotomist (plus £80); it is not available as a finger-prick kit. The lab measures total PSA, free PSA and the ratio between them, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive your report, typically within a day.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Includes free PSA and the free-to-total ratio, giving more context than a total PSA figure alone.
  • Doctor-reviewed report included as standard.
  • Results are typically back within a day.

Cons

  • At £79, it costs £14 more than the £65 median for similarly sized men's health tests we track.
  • Requires a venous blood draw; there is no finger-prick home option.
  • Provider states PSA testing alone is not a definitive test for prostate cancer, so results need clinical interpretation.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Total and free PSA test above the size-matched median
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This test measures total PSA, free PSA and the free-to-total ratio, giving more context than a total PSA reading alone. At £79 it costs £14 more than the £65 median for similarly sized men's health tests we track. As the provider itself notes, PSA testing is not a definitive test for prostate cancer on its own, and results need interpreting alongside symptoms and clinical judgement.

Score breakdown

  • Clarity and documentation 9.0/10

    The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.

  • Clinical depth 7.8/10

    3 biomarkers, placing it in the 54th percentile of mens health tests we track.

  • Collection convenience 9.0/10

    A finger-prick sample you take at home; with a venous or clinic option as well; results in around 1 days, well ahead of the mens health norm of 2.

  • Results and follow-up 7.0/10

    Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.

  • Trust signals 6.5/10

    No Trustpilot rating on record; CQC registered; doctor review as standard.

  • Value for money 5.4/10

    £79.00 against a median of £65.00 for the 13 similarly sized mens health tests we track (+22%).
