London NeuroUrology Course
This is a very popular 3-day course primarily for Urology Registrars in training preparing for the FRCS(Urol) Examination, but would also be of interest to senior trainees and Consultants developing and maintaining their sub-specialist interest in Neuto-Urology. The course will consist of interactive lectures from an invited faculty and case-based discussions in small groups, facilitated by a multidisciplinary team who are leaders in the field. The course aims to cover bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction in context of all types of neurological disease, in readiness for the FRCS (Urol) and "real-life" best practice.
