This four-day course will give the candidate a comprehensive overview of neuro-urology.

Experts from neuro-urology centres across the UK will discuss pathophysiology, patterns of neurological disease and injury and their effects on bladder, bowel and sexual function.

We take a look at undertaking and interpreting complex video-urodynamics and making assessment of bladder safety with regards to intravesical pressures in relation to bladder management. We discuss the options for bladder management starting with containment devices, catheters, medications, intravesical treatments and surgical options including cystoplasty, Mitrofanoff, sphincterotomy, artificial urinary sphincters, bulking agents, autologous fascial slings, sacral neuromodulation and urinary diversion techniques.

There are patient sessions included for candidates to meet and obtain real life understanding of patient journeys and also to experience wheelchair basketball.
