Participants said***

“Overall, it was very professional. It gave me peace of mind.”

“Fantastic experience from start to finish and so efficient. Excellent service.”

“Encouraged me to look after my health- would have put it on the long finger if it was left to myself.”

“A very positive experience that alleviated my concerns and gave me confidence and skills to do self-breast checks.”

“The procedure just gives peace of mind at having the test completed.”

Kyna Rushe, INTO member said

“The GP visit and hospital referral showed I had calcites in my breast. Thankfully it has been caught early. This would not have been discovered had it not been for Pink Power, as I have no symptoms. It has avoided a potentially serious situation for me”.

More about Pink and Blue Power

How it started

Pink & Blue Power, a potentially life-saving breast and prostate health assessment and education programme**, was launched in response to a high level of cancer claims.

The aim is to increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast and prostate cancer to promote early intervention.

The programme offers a once-off clinical physical breast or prostate exam. Where further investigation is required, a referral to a participating private hospital is arranged for a Mammogram, Ultrasound, MRI and/or biopsy, where needed.

The facts

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in Ireland with 1 in 9 women diagnosed during their life
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among Irish men
1 in 7 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer during their life

Important: While some participants are diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer through the programme, it is not a screening programme. The assessment provided only reflects a point in time. No test or exam will pick up every case of breast cancer or prostate cancer. Therefore, if you have signs and/or symptoms that are concerning for breast or prostate cancer, now or in the future, please consult with your own GP without delay. Please read the programme guide/FAQ booklet above before you book.
