Our annual health initiative

Free prostate tests.
Each March.

The ACQP Foundation gives away free prostate tests each March as part of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, encouraging members to learn about prostate health and seek appropriate advice.

Contact us to ask about the next March campaign, availability and how to take part. Our team will explain the arrangements before you proceed.

About the free tests

A test is not a cancer diagnosis. Discuss the benefits and limitations of testing with a qualified healthcare professional. If you have symptoms, contact your GP without waiting for March.

A human first response

You do not have to work it all out alone.

Unexpected circumstances can affect anyone. Start by telling us what has happened and what would make a practical difference. Every request is considered individually, respectfully and without judgement.

  • Confidential conversations with the Foundation team.
  • Fair consideration of your circumstances.
  • Clear guidance on the help or next steps available.
