In 2002, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) published ““Improving Outcomes in Urological Cancers””.This guidance sets out recommendations on how services for patients with urological cancers, including prostate cancer, should be organised in order to ensure the best outcomes. In particular, the guidance recommends that prostate assessment clinics should be provided by urology departments of district general hospitals.Strategic health authorities have submitted action plans to demonstrate how they will implement this guidance. The Department and the Healthcare Commission monitor progress against these plans.
