description <br xmlns:etd="http://www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/ora/modsextensions"><strong>Objectives: </strong>To develop a nurse-led, urologist-supported model of care for men managed by active surveillance or active monitoring (AS/AM) for localised prostate cancer and provide a formative evaluation of its acceptability to patients, clinicians and nurses.
