More than 140 doctors, practice managers, nurses and health care professionals from all over London and the Home Counties were treated to Prostate Research Campaign UK's second free master class The ABC of Prostate Diseases at the Royal Society of Medicine on 2 June, sponsored by our charity in association with the HSA Charitable Trust. The first free master class was held in Manchester earlier this year.
Practice Nurse Jane Risley, from the Brocklebank Health Centre in Tooting said, 'I found the whole experience extremely helpful. As far as our practice is concerned, today's experience will change the way I manage patients as I now understand prostate diseases much better.'
Wendy Prescott, who works as a urological nurse at Barnet Hospital added, 'This master class has been extremely useful and has widened my experience of prostate disease considerably.'
There is no doubt we are filling a real need in running these master classes and it is thanks to our supporters that we can afford to do so. A further seven free master classes for healthcare professionals are planned countrywide. The next is in Birmingham on 4 October to be followed by Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff in 2007.
