Professor Chris Booth
On Tuesday (2nd June) we very pleased to welcome Professor Chris Booth a Retired Consultant Urological Surgeon and founder of the CHAPS charity, dedicated to the advocacy for men’s health in general and prostate cancer in particular. He gave an extremely interesting and informative talk on screening for prostate cancer. This was particularly topical as that same morning the government had published a revised prostate screening guidelines on which Chris had strong views!. The talk was very well received and generated many questions and comments by the club members. This in itself shows the progress which has been made with tin dealing with this disease as only a few years ago it is unlikely ‘men’ would have been so open in talking about what they have been through in this regard.
We were also pleased to be able to present Chris with a cheque for £660, being the money raised at our ‘Burns Night Supper’ held in January this year.
