Sponsor

This event, supporting the Movember Foundation, encompasses both an educational day event aimed at medical professionals and an informal evening session for those interested in the patient experience. Delegates may attend one or both of the sessions.

The day will highlight new imaging and therapeutic aspects concerning prostate cancer. It is aimed at radiologists, oncologists, urologists, specialty trainees and radiographers but will also be of interest to junior and senior clinicians interested in prostate cancer.

The evening talk is open to all and will hear from a patient who will talk about their care pathway and experiences.
