On my way to Bristol for this years UKSBM!! Anyone else? 👋🏻

Excited to be attending this years UKSBM conference!

Day 1 - I'll be talking about co-development of a novel behavioural monitoring system

Day 2 - The cancer SIG are hosting a symposium 'Understanding ethnic minority & geographic inequities in the cancer care pathway'.

STAMINA aims to examine the clinical & cost effectiveness of embedding supervised exercise into the NHS prostate cancer care pathway v optimised usual care. Primary outcome = QoL & Fatigue. Lots of secondary outcomes (behaviour change) & parallel process evaluation. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38610058/

Embedding supervised exercise training for men on androgen deprivation therapy into standard prostate cancer care: a feasibility and acceptability study (the STAMINA trial) Lifestyle interventions involving exercise training offset the adverse effects of androgen deprivation therapy in men with prostate cancer.
