Free lifesaving Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screenings offered at Totally Wicked Stadium

Men aged 65 and over are invited to book their one-off NHS AAA check—a simple, painless 10-minute scan that could save lives.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms can be deadly if left untreated. In fact, 82% of men with an untreated AAA tragically lose their lives. This quick scan provides same-day results, offering peace of mind and the opportunity for early intervention if needed.

Councillor Andy Bowden, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health, said:

"This is a potentially life-saving opportunity for men in our community. We're making it easy and accessible by bringing the service right into the heart of St Helens . Please don't put it off - book your scan or encourage loved ones to do the same."

Screenings will be held at the Saints Community Room between 9:30am-4:00pm on:

• Friday, 27 June

• Friday, 11 July

While limited walk-in slots will be available on the day, residents are strongly encouraged to book in advance by calling 0151 706 4767.
