Hi Everyone,

Prostate Cancer UK is proud to be supporting the NHS with the early development of an important new targeted prostate cancer screening programme for people with a confirmed BRCA2 gene variant. 

We would love members of our community to help shape how this new programme will work. This is an exciting step forward. By helping to identify prostate cancer earlier, the programme has the potential to improve outcomes and save lives.

The NHS team would like to hear directly from members of the BRCA2 community about their views, experiences and priorities.

The team is interested in hearing from people who:

- have a prostate;

- are aged between 45 and 61; 

- have a confirmed BRCA2 gene variant.

If any of these criteria apply to you (male or female) or someone in your family and you would be happy to help, please complete this short NHS survey and provide your contact email address. It should take less than one minute:

The NHS team may then invite you to take part in a 30-minute online conversation at some point during the next six months. Completing the survey simply expresses your interest and does not commit you to taking part. 

Depending on the number of respondents, not everyone who responds may be contacted.

If you know someone who may meet these criteria and think they would be interested in contributing, please feel free to forward this information to them. 

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected] who is a User Researcher on this project.

Thank you for considering being part of this exciting development. 

Warm wishes,

Prostate Cancer UK team on behalf of the NHS Prostate Screening Project
