| Had a PSA Test? |
| Questions About Your Results? We’re Here to Help. |
| Many Brethren undergo a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test but may be left wondering what their results mean, whether further investigations are needed, or what steps they should take next. |
| To support the health and wellbeing of our members, Mr Rajesh Kavia, Consultant Urologist and a Middlesex Freemason, has kindly offered his time and professional expertise to provide information and guidance to Brethren who have questions about their PSA results or prostate health. |
| PSA Awareness Talks with Dr Kavia |
| Dr Kavia will be presenting two informative talks on PSA testing and prostate health. Both presentations will also be delivered online via Zoom, allowing Brethren who cannot attend in person, to attend remotely: |
| • |
Thursday, 19 November 2026 at 6:00 pm |
|
| • |
Monday, 30 November 2026 at 6:00 pm |
|
|
| The presentations will help Brethren understand PSA testing, what their results may indicate, and when further medical advice or investigation may be appropriate. |
| All registered Brethren will be notified of the Zoom link and joining instructions in advance of the presentation. |
| There will be an opportunity to ask Dr Kavia questions following each presentation. |
| Brethren who wish to discuss their own PSA results or individual concerns in greater detail will then have the opportunity to arrange a personal appointment with Dr Kavia on a subsequent date, following the presentation. |
