Leading Improvement

Since 2019, our short programmes have developed 176 clinicians; impacting nearly 60,000 patients, their families and numerous Trusts all over the UK.

Our short programmes are a fundamental area of our work. They give us the chance to deliver material to target specific areas of the pathway and reach more patients. Our redesigned format run on a 20 week basis and will support you in mobilising change within your organisation.

Current short programme:

We are currently running our Change and Innovators Programme, which is supporting those working in and alongside the prostate cancer pathway to develop and construct their leaderships skills to become changemakers and innovators. 

Our fantastic participants recently attended module three where we pitched ideas and projects through different communication styles. This day will help our change-makers deliver powerful, effective messages to stakeholders. 

We are looking forward to module 4 in October where we will evaluate projects and reflect upon our progress and development. 

The History of our Short Programmes

The Improvement Programmes Team was created by Prostate Cancer UK in 2019. The first two years, we delivered three programmes- Supported Self Management, Clinical Leads (in collaboration with BAUS) and Advanced Disease. These programmes improved prostate cancer care for over 14,000 men. 

Due to the impact of the pandemic, Clinical Leads was the only short programme to go ahead in 2021. As a direct result of this programme, over 11,000 patients will have experienced an improvement in quality of prostate cancer care. 

Read below to find out more about our most recent impact from our 2022 programmes. 

Our 2022 impact

We had 55 clinicians join our short programmes in 2022, they will collectively change the prostate cancer pathway for nearly 18,000 men.
