Clinical Champions Programme
Our free 18-month long programme aims to identify future clinical leaders and provide them with the knowledge, skills and support to deliver significant improvements to prostate cancer care.
We aim to recruit a diverse cohort of healthcare professionals across the range of roles that encompass prostate cancer care pathway.
Applications for our 2027 programme will open on 20th November 2026.
What does the programme involve?
We’ve partnered with Living Potential, an innovative leadership development organisation to support us in delivering our sector-leading Clinical Champions Programme. Our programme will support and inspire you to drive meaningful improvements for people living with or at risk of prostate cancer.
As part of the programme you will receive:
Residential sessions facilitated by an award-winning consultancy with experience supporting NHS staff
Peer support from your improvement group (these are formed at the first module), which will provide ongoing opportunities to network, share best practice, collaborate, and problem-solve,
Development feedback and support from the programme faculty during modules.
Support from Prostate Cancer UK during and beyond the programme,
Access to Prostate Cancer UK alumni content upon completion of the programme. This includes masterclasses, alumni events, and opportunities to work with teams across the organisation.
Your accommodation at the residential sessions, along with refreshments are provided at the expense of the charity, however we do not cover transport expenses.
You will not pay a fee to attend our programmes or submit an application.
Being the only nurse on the cohort was a daunting thought but going ahead was the best thing I’ve done. The programme has been an enlightening experience in terms of recognising your value and what leadership skills you already have and reflecting on and developing those.
Short Programmes
Our free short 20-week leadership programmes will focus on different areas of the prostate cancer care pathway. Each programme is a mixture of our leadership content together with content tailored to the specific programme focus. Previous programmes have included; sexual wellbeing, equality and the faster diagnosis standards. Our first 2027 programme will be based on Active Surveillance.
You will not pay a fee to attend our programmes or submit an application.
Applications for our 2027 programmes will open on 20th November 2026.
Programme Structure
Our hybrid programme blends virtual and residential in-person learning enabling collaboration through 1-2-1 coaching and peer-based mentoring. Modules 1 and 2 are half day online modules, modules 3 and 4 are a combined 2-day in-person event.
This has been such a brilliant programme covering areas that NHS training doesn’t cover.
