Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United Kingdom. Over 42,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. In June 2015, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) finally published five key statements regarding prostate cancer care. The quality standards are mostly derived from the NICE prostate cancer guidelines. In this article, we discuss the development process by the NICE Advisory Committee and highlight the five key priorities proposed by NICE to drive quality improvements in patient safety, patient experience and clinical effectiveness. We also discuss areas for potential improvement to improve the standard of care for men with prostate cancer.
