Our results show that a focused, clinician-centred education programme can lead to improved guideline adherence at a regional level. The assessment of trends and application of such a programme at a state-based or national level could be further assessed in the future with the help of registry data. This will be particularly important in future with the advent of advanced imaging, such as prostate-specific membrane antigen positron-emission tomography.
