Welcome to the PSA Kent website 

 

 

 

Scanner Appeal 2006/2009

Multiscan machines are the focus of our fund-raising.
These portable multipurpose ultrasonic scanners will help monitor bladder, kidney & prostate cancers.
In Sept 2006 we presented our first Portable Scanner to the Oncology Department at K&C Hospital
Since then and up to Oct. 2009 we have presented nine similar pieces of equipment to various Hospitals in Kent.

On 8-Mar-2010 we gave a presentation to King Edward VII Lodge, in Gillingham, and we were presented with
a very welcome Cheque towards to cost of our next Scanner
