Conference Partners

Thank you to our Conference Partners for your support of the inaugural 2024 Conference.




PRINCIPAL PARTNERS

Canterbury Urology Research Trust

Canterbury Urology Research Trust (CURT) is a charitable trust established by a group of urologists in 1997. CURT is a dedicated research centre based in Christchurch, New Zealand conducting national and international clinical Urology trials in conjunction with Urologists nationwide. We have access to a population of 560,000 locally in Canterbury, and 4.8 million around New Zealand.

The aim of the trust is to improve the care of urological patients primarily through research but also by assisting with professional development for nurses. Grants are available for attending seminars and conferences, and our annual Urology Interest Group day. There are nine urologists who are involved in clinical research as principal or co-investigators.

We have the ability to rapidly recruit either through our databases or advertising and have exceeded predicted numbers in most trials.



Movember

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health globally. In 2003, Movember sparked a men’s health movement that has gone on to fund over 1,320 men’s health projects across the world. Movember challenges the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men. They have taken on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer, so men live healthier, longer lives. Movember works with the community and expert partners to drive awareness and raise funds critical to tackling the most complex problems affecting men’s health today.

Worldwide, Movember supports prostate cancer registries to collect data on diagnosis, treatment, and both clinical and patient-reported outcomes across 25 countries. This information is utilized through research and benchmarked reports to enhance understanding and improve patient care. Since 2014, Movember has funded New Zealand's participation in the Australia and New Zealand Prostate Cancer Registry (PCOR-ANZ) and the True North Global Registry (TNGR) since 2017. PCOR New Zealand now includes data from over 20,000 individuals with prostate cancer. In 2021, PCOR-NZ registrations accounted for 78% of nationally reported diagnoses and includes contributions from all the 20 public hospital regions as well as 18 private clinics.

 

Movember engages, empowers, and mobilises men, giving them the information they need to understand the health risks they face and to act on them. Our goals are ambitious but with the support of our global community, we know we can get there.
