Making a visit

Urolink has had almost twenty years experience in helping urologists, nurses and technicians get out into the developing world and we believe our members can help pass some of their experience on to you. You will find, below, four articles about what you should think about when you are going on a visit, written by some of the committee; we hope you will find them useful.
