Patient Voice Project

Surveys and interviews: Patients and people affected by prostate cancer have spoken to us and answered two surveys to help us better understand their needs, wants and barriers to engagement. Please see the results below for each:

• Survey One: PCR Community Focused Research Questionnaire, November/December 2018.
• Survey Two: Have Your Say, May 2019.
• Patient Interviews: March – May 2019.

Choosing Our Locations: We undertook extensive research in order to best establish where we should undertake this project. You can read the full report here.

How we will undertake monitoring and evaluation: We are committed to ensuring that our monitoring and evaluation processes are robust and appropriate to their role. Please read our Monitoring and Evaluation Process here.

What are we aiming to do: Below you will find the theory of change we are working towards in the planning and delivery of our project.
