At Orchid, we want to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of penile cancer in Scotland. We also want to provide better support to those affected and their families.

Influencing Policy and Practice

A Scottish penile cancer patient has been appointed as a Patient Advocate to the Patient Advocacy - Patient Information (uroweb.org) They are helping to improve patient treatment and support.

Orchid is also a Patient Advocate organisation with eUROGEN and the Orchid Fighting Male Cancer - Clinical Trials (orchid-cancer.org.uk) and is contributing to a number of work streams, including patient pathways and patient information.
