not aware enough and that is why, the current study shed a light upon it. As per the facts and
figures, it has been identified that across UK around 129 men diagnosed every day and that is
why, it reflects that there is a need to take prostate cancer seriously. Hence, there is a need to use
effective steps which in turn causes decrease in number of cases.
In addition to this, the present study is will use only qualitative study in order to generate

men whose age is above 50. Also, it has been also analysed that with the help of effective
partnership with health and social care departments, the awareness can be generated among
normal people. Thus, with the help of defined aim and objectives, scholar can easily shed a light
upon the chosen topic and investigate the ways through which awareness program can be
implemented easily to minimise the negative chances of the issue. This study aims to explore key
stakeholders and the government views towards prostate cancer awareness in the UK.
