Read Danielle Whiting’s report about her TUF Fellowship to KCMC for the first percutaneous nephrolithotomy workshop, between 1 and 12 July 2024. Dani emphasises the difficulties there are in bringing higher tech procedures into an LMIC healthcare environment, and the clinical challenges that await their application. She also experienced, in the raw, the differences there are between what we all expect within the NHS and what is available in circumstances that are even more resource depleted. Dani’s report is a great example of the benefits of a TUF fellowship to urologists at the beginning of their careers.

We would like to congratulate Professor Aberra Gobezie on the award of two lifetime awards. One from Hawassa University and another from the Urology Society of Ethiopia (USE). Prof Gobezie was instrumental in the initial setup of the Hawassa University Comprehensive Surgical Hospital (HUCSH), and for forming the association with Shekhar Biyani. This has led to the long-standing association between HUCSH and Urolink, the development of a comprehensive urology team and improvement of urological training in the Southern Nations. Many congratulations Prof!

JULY 2024
Urolink is delighted to announce the winners of the 2024 round of TUF/Urolink fellowships. Ravi Banthia from Dundee, Brendon Berry and Johann Boaz from London, and Mike Ng from Plymouth have all been awarded this prestigious award. Each Fellowship, which is supported by the SAC, attracts a £1,500 bursary towards the cost of travel, and a period of time in a Urolink recognised centre. It is anticipated that the Fellows will, over the next 12 months, base their visits around Urolink-associated teaching/training events and workshops including in endo-urology, uro-gynae and reconstructive urology in sub-Saharan Africa. Congratulations to them all and many thanks to TUF for continuing to support this important experience stream for BAUS members.
