"AAA Call-Up - quick and simple"

About: Regional AAA Screening Programme

(as a service user),

AAA? I’d never heard of it. Was it a new Car Club or the development of a new battery for EV’s? No: Abdominal Aortic Aneurism is a serious health threat for men like me and at 65 years of age a screening can help identify those at risk.

When I made my visit to the outpatients clinic it was quick and simple. The nurse was very pleasant to talk to and after just a few minutes the result was printed straight away.

I now had the reassurance that I wasn’t one of those who needed to be seen again. Phew! However, if I had been, this could have been one of the most important ten minutes of my life.

AAA: if you’re sixty five in this calendar year, don’t throw away your invitation to a screening; you could be the one in eighty for whom their life is spared!
