 BAUS is delighted to announce a new BAUS Urolink Fellowship for colleagues from low and low-middle income countries. It is open to senior trainees and consultants in post less than 10 years to attend the BAUS Annual Scientific Meeting, and for an extended stay to undertake an observership in the UK of urological managements that may not be available in their home countries. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will attend the BAUS Annual Scientific Meeting from 15th-17th June 2026 in London and undertake their observership prior to this.
A bursary of £6,000 is available to cover travel, visa and hotel costs for the stay, which should involve visits to one or more UK centres to observe particular techniques. A report of the trip is a required component of any award, which will be published on the Urolink pages of the BAUS website.
Please share this fantastic opportunity with anyone who might be interested. The application form can be found here and is open until Sunday 30th November 17:00 GMT.
As part of this we are also looking for UK Consultant Urologists who are BAUS members that would be interested in hosting a visiting fellow at their centre. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will attend the BAUS Annual Scientific Meeting from 15th-17th June 2026 in London and undertake their observership prior to this. If you are interested in being a host please complete this application form.

  TUF fellows Mike Ng and Rustam Karanjia, along with Urology Consultants Nick Campain and Nish Bedi, travelled to Ndola Zambia for a Prostate Uroweek. The workshop focussed on teaching TURP and transperineal prostate biopsies. The visit highlights the importance of selecting appropriate patients for further investigation or surgery. Teaching these skills was enormously beneficial to the local patient population with two patients becoming catheter free after 5 and 6 years. Urolink visits always offer bi-directional learning with the TUF fellows also gaining valuable open operating experience.
