What is Mr PHIP?

 

 

 

Mr PHIP (Prostate Health Information Program) is a prostate health education program funded by the South Australian Department of Human Services between 1996-99.

The program was originally aimed at educating men and their families affected by prostate cancer in the Southern Region of Adelaide and produced a series of prostate cancer education materials.

Because of strong demand, these information materials have been regularly updated and made available more broadly.

Development
The information sheets were developed by the Urology Unit at the Repatriation General Hospital in consultation with general practitioners, men who live with prostate cancer, their families and friends. Other health professionals and community agencies, notably the Cancer Council SA, have contributed to the production. We are grateful to all of these individuals and organisations who have been so generous with their time and willingness to assist.
