EAU Annual Congress 2010

Challenge urological nursing in Barcelona at the 11th International EAUN Meeting

On behalf of the European Association of Urology Nurses (EAUN), it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 11th International Meeting of the European Association of Urology Nurses. In support of our goal to continually upgrade the nursing skills of our members, the EAUN meeting will be held in conjunction with the 25th Anniversary EAU Congress (16-20 April) from Saturday, 17 April to Monday, 19 April 2010 in Barcelona, Spain.

This year in Stockholm at the 10th International EAUN Meeting we celebrated our 10-year jubilee, providing strong proof of the increasing interest among professional nurses in Europe during the past 10 years not only to hone their skills but also share their knowledge with colleagues from more than 25 countries in and outside Europe. Urology nursing plays a key role in public health care (underlined by “Urology Week” every year in September) and we will continue to improve standards of urological nursing care, with the annual meeting but also for example by taking part in the development of international research programmes. In Barcelona we will line up workshops, state-of-the-art lectures, symposia on various topics, discussions on clinical practices and offer optional visits to local hospitals, among other activities. The sessions will be scientific as well as clinically oriented and provide tips and tricks for clinical practice!
