New Zealand’s best minds take on major gap in prostate cancer care
More men and their partners to get the care they need.
We’re proud to launch our first ever Sexual Health Advisory Groups – bringing together the world’s top experts to change how prostate cancer treatment impacts sex and intimacy. See how.
World-first guidelines for clinicians
In 2022, Movember worked with international experts to launch the world’s first playbook for clinicians providing sexual healthcare for people with prostate cancer: Clinical Guidelines for Sexual Health and Prostate Cancer.
The guidelines set a new standard of excellence, providing 47 recommendations on how to treat patients and partners using biomedical therapies, psychological intervention and social supports.
But simply creating guidelines doesn't solve the problem. We need to make sure the right people know they exist and can put them to use in their clinic.
Uniting the country’s best minds
In simple terms, the first recommendation in the guidelines states that clinicians should ask the question: “How important is sex and intimacy to you?”
Forming an expert team
The workshop was a key step on our mission to make sexual healthcare a non-negotiable for all clinicians seeing men with prostate cancer and their partners.
But changing healthcare systems takes time. And teamwork. To help us build a long-term action plan, we’re proud to announce our first ever Sexual Health Advisory Group:

What this means for men?
We want men and their partners to know that all prostate cancer treatments will lead to changes in their sex life – but there are many ways their care team can support them.
And while we work to influence healthcare settings, we’re also proud to offer free, credible online resources designed for men and their partners.
