NEW PROJECT: Driving the next generation of prostate cancer treatment across the UK

02 May, 2025 | Return|

Introducing GFCT Focal Therapy: 

Focal therapy is a precise, non-invasive treatment for prostate cancer set to change lives. Over 12,000 men in the UK each year could benefit from this treatment, but at the moment, the NHS does not have the technology, with HIFU machines only being available in 3 hospitals in the UK. Our mission is to expand access to focal therapy by equipping NHS hospitals with HIFU machines.

Through ethical investments and donations, we are bridging the gap in resources, ensuring that more hospitals across the UK have access to the technology needed to improve outcomes for prostate cancer patients. Find out more about focal therapy here.

We're making steady progress on our mission to help NHS hospitals get the necessary technology to be able to offer HIFU treatment for prostate cancer patients.

Our progress has included conversations with various hospitals based in the North of England and indeed, in all four home countries.

The successful launch of the Northampton Hospital HIFU facility last Friday has been great for raising awareness for this new treatment method and the benefits that it provides. We hope that continued awareness will push the need for focal therapy to be more widely available.

So far, we’ve raised £293,000 with a further £9,000 pledged and hope to raise more shortly. The more we can raise, through donations or investments, the more hospitals we can help.

If you are interested in financially supporting this project, please get in touch to donate or find out more about the option of interest-bearing "ethical loans" by viewing the attached documents.

Please subscribe to this blog and keep an eye out for regular updates as we make this groundbreaking new treatment option a reality for thousands of men in need across the UK.
