Clinical Trial Summary

Men aged over 18 having a first or second diagnostic prostate biopsy at the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust or Epsom General Hospital may be invited to take part in one to one interview within 6 months of having the procedure done to talk about their experience

Description:

Men aged over 18 having a first or second diagnostic prostate biopsy at the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust or Epsom General Hospital will be approached by their Urology team or study Researcher with an information sheet about the study pre or post biopsy. The participant information sheet outlines that the study will involve being interviewed by the researcher, Kathryn Myhill as part of her doctoral research and being asked about their perceptions of their biopsy experience and what it was like to go through it. Men who return an expression of interest reply slip by post will be contacted by the researcher or they can contact her directly via the email or phone details given in the PIS. The researcher will answer any queries about the study and explore whether they would like to take part in an interview. A one to one interview will then be offered in a non-clinical, private room at the hospital where their biopsy took place (Royal Marsden Hospital, Epsom General Hospital) or at their workplace or home.
