Opportunities to comment
Engagement is being carried out in several ways:

· Wide circulation of the draft documentation for comment and feedback.
Patient representative groups:
· Organised patient focus group sessions to be held, in conjunction with the Urological Cancer Charity (UCAN) and The Prostate Cancer Charity.
How to comment
We would like your views on the draft QPIs and supporting documents, in particular comments on:
- The appropriateness of the QPIs that have been developed.
- The targets that have been set.
- Key points or areas that are not covered within the engagement document or QPIs.
- Feasibility of data collection required to measure the QPIs.
- Feasibility of measuring the QPIs identified in a meaningful and comparative way (i.e. 'like for like' comparison).
- The implementation strategy proposed to ensure sustainable data collection and reporting.
Please note: although all comments are very welcome it is envisaged that the Draft Data Definitions and Measurability documents will be of particular interest to clinical and audit staff. Regarding these specific documents we are particularly looking for comment on any practical issues surrounding measurement of QPIs or data collection.
Forms to assist with submission of comments have been developed and should be used wherever possible. Please clearly indicate in your response which specific document you are responding to as this will aid our analysis of the responses received. Please note that supporting evidence should be detailed along with comments where appropriate.
