Ethical issues in urology will be discussed in a dedicated lecture by Marinane Rabe, DE, with interesting cases and inputs for debate.
A session of videos submitted by the delegates will be held on Sunday, as well as a Marketplace session, which has the advance that in a small group you can truly interact with the speaker, which is always well-appreciated by the participants, and it has therefore over the years become a milestone of our congress. The theme this year will be the Preparations for major urological surgery.
This year we received a lot of high quality abstracts from the delegates, with the top numbers coming from the UK, Italy and Japan; two poster sessions will be held on Saturday and Sunday, in which selected speakers will present their own work and run for a valuable prize. The delegates will also be involved in the popular diffi cult cases session, in which unusual nursing cases submitted by delegates will be presented and discussed e.g. on Complications after cystectomy, autonomic dysrefl exia and encrustation uropathy.
The EAU is launching patient information for patients with bladder cancer, which will be presented on Monday, while a special session on Saturday will introduce the new evidence-based EAUN guideline developed by a nursing panel on Male External Catheters. Our association is always committed to producing and updating high level guidelines, which will be available at no cost in the printed version at the EAUN booth (Room 2) (as well as in PDF format on the EAUN website.
The debate about the direction of urological nursing, started in Madrid last year, will go in-depth in the plenary session, as new developments are going on across Europe. Finally, important announcements about upcoming educational initiatives of the EAUN will be made during the General Assembly, held on Monday, at 12.15 h. Also non-members are welcome to attend.
