As set out in the National Health Service 2021/22 priorities and operational planning guidance, Cancer Alliances are delivering personalised stratified follow up (PSFU) pathways for prostate cancer across England. NHS England and NHS Improvement published a handbook to support implementation of PSFU pathways in March 2020 and continue to work with Cancer Alliances to ensure all trusts have a PSFU pathway for prostate cancer in place.
There are no plans to include questions on PSFU pathways for prostate cancer within the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey 2021. NHS England and NHS Improvement do not hold information on the number of prostate cancer patients enrolled on to a PSFU pathway across each of the Cancer Alliances in England.
