The Federation's official journal is entitled "Prostate Matters" and is made available to all Member Organisations in sufficient numbers for them to distribute to their own members.

Copies of "Prostate Matters" are available for download from the links below as "pdf" files which can be displayed by the use of a "pdf" Reader. If your computer does not have a suitable Reader, you can download the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free, by clicking here. (Note: owing to the personal preferences of the webmaster, that link points to the Acrobat download site for Apple Macs - but it contains the necessary link for those poor handicapped people who are forced to use a PC.)
