Journal of Clinical Urology (JCU)

An official publication of The British Association of Urological Surgeons, edited by Professor Bhaskar Somani


The Journal of Clinical Urology (formerly the British Journal of Medical and Surgical Urology) is a clinically-orientated journal of urology and is an official publication of the British Association of Urological Surgeons. To reflect recent major changes in the field of urology, in particular the increasing importance of non-surgical management, considerable input is expected from medical urology as well as from the more surgically-focused aspects of the specialty.

The journal covers the whole scope of urology in five sections to align it with the BAUS specialist sections: oncology, endourology, female neurological and urodynamic urology, andrology / genito-urethral surgery and academic / basic science. It publishes high-quality, original audit and research, commissioned reviews, comment articles and relevant case reports, with the overall aim of being readable, educational and clinically relevant to everyday urological practice. The audience is primarily Consultant and trainee urologists but, in the longer term, it will attract specialists in fields allied to urology including uro-radiology, uro-oncology, genito-urinary medicine and nursing.

Further information, including the publication schedule & guide to authors, is available on the JCU website, should you require this.
