Executive Summary
The UK National Health Service (NHS) has formally established a prostate brachytherapy advisory group to steer service development in this specialism. The group's main aim will be to "support universal access to low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy in the UK", by: optimising the use of services within radiotherapy centres that currently perform the technique; helping to commission services not available locally; and promoting best practice and evidence-based approaches, sourced in the UK and internationally.
