Executive Committee

The Section was formed in 2003. Originally called the Section of Female and Reconstructive Urology, it was renamed in June 2009. Its aim is to promote the highest standards in female urology in the United Kingdom.

The Section's main function is to set and raise standards by:

  • producing guidelines, often in collaboration with other groups;
  • promoting training and research; and
  • organising clinical meetings.

Since 2009, the Section's annual meeting has been held immediately before the BAUS Annual Scientific Meeting each June.
