Urinary incontinence is a common complication following radical prostatectomy and can significantly impact quality of life. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is recommended to reduce post-operative incontinence; however, referral pathways and patient engagement vary. The PRO-ACT trial is a single-centre, parallel-group randomised controlled trial evaluating whether a structured pre-operative education bundle combined with direct physiotherapy referral reduces urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy compared to standard care. Eligible men undergoing radical prostatectomy at Beaumont Hospital will be randomised 1:1 to either: Standard of care (educational video and recommendation for physiotherapy with patient-initiated referral), or A structured pre-operative intervention including a one-to-one ANP-led education session, scheduled post-operative follow-up call, and direct referral to supervised pelvic floor physiotherapy. The primary outcome is mean urinary pad usage per 24 hours at 3 months post-operatively. Secondary outcomes include time to continence, quality of life, physiotherapy adherence, and postoperative complication rates.
