Prostate FFIT exercise programme
We’ve teamed up with the SPFL Trust (Scottish Professional Football League Trust) to launch the new and unique Prostate Football Fans in Training (Prostate FFIT). It’s a free 12-week pilot project for men living with prostate cancer. It’s based on the popular Football Fans in Training programme which is already successfully running at several SPFL clubs across Scotland.

Scottish Fellowship and Clinical Visits Awards Programme
We’ve launched a Scottish Fellowship and Clinical Visits Awards Programme. This is aimed at increasing the number of urologists in Scotland trained in robotic assisted prostate cancer surgery. We’re working in association with The Urology Foundation on this project.
Applications are sought from:
- trainees/urologists working in Scotland or moving to work in Scotland, wishing to undertake a prostate robotic fellowship as a joint application with a recognised robotic centre within the UK or Europe, or a Clinical Visit. More details can be found here.
