The Prostate Cancer Charity has funded research being carried out by the University of Southampton. We are looking for men to take part in a trial into devices to help manage urinary incontinence following treatment for prostate cancer.

Most men with incontinence use absorbent pads although there are other products available which are made specifically for men. This research aims to find out which of the devices men prefer and why. This information will help doctors and nurses provide a more suitable range of products to men.

During the study you will be able to try out a range of products given to you. A clinical nurse will visit you at home - there is no need for you to go to the hospital. Please be reassured that taking part in the study will not affect your NHS pad supply in any way.

Who should get involved?

Men affected by prostate cancer who:

• have had a prostatectomy or other treatment for prostate cancer
• have had urinary incontinence for at least 12 months since

Men who live in the south of England including London, Surrey, Hampshire, South Wiltshire, Dorset and Sussex.

Closing date: There is no closing date.

How can I get involved?

Contact Margaret Macaulay, Research Nurse

Tel: 020 7288 3178 (leave a message if the answer phone is on and the nurse will call you back)

Email: m.macaulay@ucl.ac.uk

When and where will this activity take place?

We are only recruiting men who live in the south of England including London, Surrey, Hampshire, South Wiltshire, Dorset and Sussex as the nurse will visit you at home.

The Department of Psychology at the University of Surrey would like men diagnosed with prostate cancer to complete a survey, contributing to a research study which is investigating whether changes in dietary behaviour affect the quality of life of men with prostate cancer, and whether being self aware and proactive can predict these changes after diagnosis and treatment.

If you would like to complete the survey online then please visit www.fahs.surrey.ac.uk/survey/dietary_changes/

It will take approximately 20 minutes. If you have any questions or want more information, please contact Angelos Kassianos a.kassianos@surrey.ac.uk

We are looking for some volunteers who can offer an hour of their time to help us with some research to make sure it is easy for people to find the information they need on our website easily.

Who should get involved?

We would like a combination of men who have had a prostate cancer diagnosis within the last six months, have been living with prostate cancer for longer than six months and friends and family of men with prostate cancer. The research is looking at how information is categorised, so it doesn't matter if you know our website well or have never used it before.

Closing date:

Wednesday 25th April.

How can I get involved?

If you'd be interested in helping please email Martha from our web agency martha@publiczone.co.uk with a little description of yourself and your availability during the dates above (evenings as well as daytime).

When and where will this activity take place?

The sessions will take place in London between Thursday 19th and Friday 27th April.
