Innovation Events
Learn more about innovations and projects from across the prostate cancer community. We host quarterly innovation events, you can find out more about them here.
Overview
We are sharing projects and innovations in prostate cancer care with healthcare professionals and anyone these may be useful to every few months. Haven’t signed up to our upcoming event?
At this innovation event in May 2022, we brought together over 70 stakeholders invested in transforming prostate cancer pathways to help tackle inequalities. This event provided a space for healthcare professionals to share best practice and showcase how they’re driving forward innovations.
At our innovation event in Summer 2022 our audience heard from experts in the field on the NHS England Faster Diagnosis Standard.
Introducing the Primary Care Network (PCN) Directed Enhanced Service (DES) for prostate cancer.
In September 2023 our audience heard from experts about their PCN DES prostate cancer projects, as well as from our own Prostate Cancer UK Health Influencing staff about the support we can offer in implementing the PCN DES specification on prostate cancer.
In May 2023 our audience heard from experts and men with experience about active surveillance.
In March 2024 we explored the insights gained from the STAMPEDE trial and what it means for patients living longer with advanced prostate cancer.
