Leading the event will be Urology Nurse Specialist Deborah Dobson who will share – in plain, non-clinical language - the range of treatments for people with urological cancers, specifically prostate cancer.

She said: “In the UK, about one in eight men will get prostate cancer at some time in their lives.

“Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in UK men where it is estimated over 250,000 men currently live with the disease.”
