Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Scotland and recent NHS projections suggest that the incidence is set to grow. Prostate disease can affect nearly one in two men in Scotland at some stage in their lives. Prostate Scotland is Scotland’s prostate disease charity. We were established in 2006 as a registered charity (No. SC037494) to increase awareness, information and improve education, support and provision for prostate issues. We provide:

• Information materials for people living with prostate cancer and disease and their families about prostate cancer and prostate disease and its treatments;
• An award-winning website www.prostatescotland.org.uk providing a range of information for men and their families about prostate cancer and prostate disease, including video interviews with men with prostate disease about their choice of treatment, as well as from leading clinicians about symptoms and treatments;
• Awareness materials about prostate disease and its symptoms;
• A range of services to help men living with prostate cancer navigate living with the diseases, including Living Well with Prostate Cancer courses as well as specialist exercise courses for men. In several areas of Scotland we also provide in partnership with Maggie’s one-to one support with a cancer support specialist;
• A free information and support app to help people living with prostate cancer.

With prostate cancer set to increase over the next ten years there is much more to be done in informing, supporting and advancing on prostate disease in Scotland. We work to:

• Encourage greater early diagnosis, as this can often lead to successful treatment;
• Develop our awareness and information work to help ensure that every man in Scotland has access to information about prostate cancer and disease;
• Support people living with prostate cancer and disease;
• Enable the provision of the most up-to-date and effective equipment to treat prostate disease;
• Take forward research into future treatment and services needs
