Incredible interview on @bbc5live@TVNaga01 with @ProstateUK@oscdebosc & @nickowentv. #ProstateCancer is now England’s most common cancer. This is partly due to high-profile men, like Nick, sharing their story & saving lives. Listen here from 11.

Thanks @MovemberUK for inviting us to this morning’s event to hear @wesstreeting make this wonderful announcement 💙 #ProstateCancer will sit right at the heart of this strategy and we are ready to partner with @DHSCgovuk to get this right for men’s physical and mental health 📝
The first ever Men's Health Strategy will be a key part of our 10 Year Health Plan.
It will address the biggest health problems affecting men of all ages, which could include:
⚫ cardiovascular disease
⚫ prostate & testicular cancers
⚫ mental health

The #prostatecancer community are the BEST⭐️thanks to everyone who shared this - we are *SO* close to 1000!! Survey closes at the end of the week and we only need a few more people to share their thoughts to help bring our next @ProstateUK strategy to life 💙 Link below ⬇️
The @ProstateUK Risk Checker is the wording from the current NHS Guidelines. We hope these will be updated soon, but in the meantime I'm sure you agree that raising awareness of risk and explaining pros and cons of the PSA test is a good place to start https://t.co/UV2lxvVqnl
Unfortunately, the @ProstateUK risk checker just ends up telling everyone over 50 they are at risk.
Not a great tool. In fact, far from it given its over-simplification.
And yes, many have told them this!
We are saddened by Sir Chris Hoy's terminal cancer diagnosis.
Like many, he was diagnosed too late. The PSA blood test is vital for early detection, yet guidelines stop GPs from offering it.
We join @ProstateUK in urging the Government to revise these guidelines & save lives.
We are saddened to read the news that Sir @chrishoy is facing a terminal cancer diagnosis.
Men simply should not be diagnosed with #ProstateCancer at Stage 4.
But sadly, Sir Chris is one of thousands of men in the UK who have received their diagnosis too late.
The current system is failing men.
It's unjust, it's unfair, and it's time to put an end to it.
That's why yesterday we gathered at #Westminster with researchers, people with lived experience and policy makers to share our new programme for government

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
A lot of press attention today on this paper that I am very proud to co-author: Using real world data to bridge the evidence gap left by prostate cancer screening trials - ESMO Real World Data and Digital Oncology (https://t.co/fa5cwVev20)
Why is it important? 🧵
We want to focus on what truly matters to YOU and those diagnosed with #ProstateCancer.
That's why we're calling on 1000 MEN to complete our 5-minute survey so we can shape our new strategy.
➡️ Take the survey: https://t.co/jDMuIHbhst
