The Forgotten 10,000: Getting it Right for Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer claims over 11,500 lives a year in Britain. Orchid was one of three prostate cancer charities to have released an historic report, The Forgotten 10,000, calling for more funding and better coordinated care.

- Access to a named keyworker, ideally a clinical nurse specialist (CNS)
- Improvements to Primary and Secondary Care Pathways
- Access to treatment for advanced prostate cancer patients
- Access to palliative care close to home
