Prostate Scotland, in association with The Urology Foundation, is seeking to make a number of awards available to provide additional support for Urologists, Trainees, Surgery Nurses and First Surgical Assistants working in Scotland, to undertake training, travel to conferences, take part in research and to publish research and/or outcomes data.
Following the completion of a successful appeal to help the introduction of robot assisted prostate cancer surgery in the east and west of Scotland, Prostate Scotland is also taking forward a programme to help support the training of urologists, surgery nurses and first surgical assistants in Scotland in robotic assisted prostate cancer surgery.
As part of this Prostate Scotland is pleased to launch the following three awards, aimed at increasing the number of urology healthcare professionals in Scotland trained in robotic assisted prostate cancer surgery. Prostate Scotland is working in association with The Urology Foundation on this project
