This Leadership Programme aims to enhance prostate cancer care by integrating exercise oncology, empowering healthcare professionals with the leadership skills to champion and embed exercise interventions across the care pathway.
Our programme is open to clinicians and professionals with the expertise and ambition to improve care for men affected by prostate cancer. We particularly encourage applications from professionals based in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

- Enhance quality of life and psychological wellbeing, reducing anxiety and depression linked to prostate cancer.
- Promote long-term survivorship through sustainable lifestyle changes that lower recurrence and comorbidity risk.
- Embed a sustainable exercise oncology pathway within prostate cancer services to support consistent referral, assessment, and follow-up.
- Strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration between oncology, physiotherapy, urology, and community exercise providers.
- Evaluate intervention effectiveness on physical, psychological, and clinical outcomes.
- Assess patient engagement and adherence, identifying key barriers and enablers to participation.
Participants will also receive an optional use ‘Exercise as Medicine’ resource package, including slide decks and an exercise bank, to support implementation and sustained improvement in clinical practice.
This programme will focus on developing transformational leaders through:
- Leadership and improvement theory
- Opportunities to put theory and new skills into practice
- Peer support and learning
- Individual and group coaching
- Hearing from and networking with inspiring leaders who have driven change in this field
