Funding research and education to beat prostate disease
Masterclasses
We believe that education is crucial to beating prostate disease and the damage it can cause to people’s lives. That’s why we run free one day Masterclasses for all primary healthcare professionals, and so far over 3,500 GPs and nurses have been through our training programme.
We select the top speakers from around the country and local to the venues. The full day’s programme provides delegates with five hours free CPD for attending. Delegates are encouraged to engage in debate with the speakers and their local peers and colleagues by submitting questions and common issues before the Masterclass and raising further ones during the day.
The programme emphasises the practical issues of dealing with patients and their families in primary care. Our close ties to the research community (which we fund and develop through our grants programme) mean we have access to the latest discoveries and techniques relating to treatment.
We combine this with the practical knowledge gained from talking to GPs and patients all over the country to provide a complete overview of prostate disease.
The 2012 Masterclass has been awarded accreditation by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), a mark of distinction and a guarantee of quality. Only the educational providers that meet their rigorous standards are entitled to display the RCGP mark of CPD accreditation.
