This project involved public engagement with men who have had prostate cancer and their partners, who helped to test the latest version of an online resource named CHAT-P. CHAT-P is a secure online prostate specific holistic needs assessment, suitable for men at all stages of the pathway of care.

The feedback received from user testing formed an important part of the subsequent refinements to CHAT-P, which is now ready to move into clinical practice. Public engagement in this project also helped to identify the need for further accessible information about CHAT-P and develop two tools to support public engagement in a wider context. Firstly, we made a leaflet which explains CHAT-P in an accessible, informative and straight forward way. Secondly, we created a short public facing film which can be used as a welcome introduction within CHAT-P and as a separate resource to provide information about our project and prostate cancer in general to men and their wider families, friends, and community groups.
